The Islander Freeport 36, designed by the prolific Robert Perry and launched in the mid-1970s, represents a distinct departure from the racer-cruiser pedigree of its predecessor, the Islander 36. While the earlier Alan Gurney design focused on sleek lines and PHRF performance, the Freeport 36 was conceived as a "volume-first" coastal cruiser, prioritizing liveaboard comfort and interior light. Often referred to as the "F-36," this model was produced during a period when Islander Yachts was seeking to capture the emerging market of sailors who viewed their boats as mobile homes rather than strictly racing machines. The result is a high-freeboard, heavy-displacement cruiser that has maintained a loyal following for its unconventional layout and robust build.
