The Islander 29, a quintessential product of the mid-1960s California fiberglass revolution, represents the transition from traditional wooden aesthetics to the era of production-line ocean cruisers. Designed by Joseph McGlasson and produced by the Wayfarer Yacht Corporation (which later became Islander Yachts), the 29-footer was built on the same hull lineage as the Columbia 29, a direct result of the shared history between McGlasson and the founders of Columbia. With a beam of 8’ 11”, the Islander 29 was notably wide for its era, offering a level of interior volume and stability that appealed to families moving up from smaller daysailers. The vessel features a classic CCA-era profile, characterized by a graceful overhang at the bow, a sloping transom, and a robust full keel that speaks to its primary purpose: safe, predictable coastal cruising.
