Island Packet SP Cruiser

Island Packet Yacht’s new motorsailer, the 41’ SP Cruiser, has recently won two U.S. awards for innovation. Selected from numerous new sailboat designs this year, it received both SAIL magazine’s “Editor’s Choice Award for Innovation” in January and the National Marine Manufacturers Association “Innovation Award for Sailboats” at the Miami International Boat Show in February.

Like many motorsailers, the SP Cruiser’s enclosed deckhouse offers year round cruising comfort, and a self tending sailplan and powerful engine allow it to travel great distances with easy control and modest fuel consumption.

With twin cockpits (one aft and one forward of the deckhouse) and an interior arrangement that provides exceptional livability in this size range, the SP Cruiser is unique. Most notable, however, is a new sail handling system that makes it the first “popular sized” sailboat with the availability of “push button” sail controls.
