Update: I sold the Islander on 11-26-2012. If you’re still interested in buying an Islander 30 (they’re great little boats), here’s a link to some listings: Islander 30s.
I’m selling the boat. Below are the stats and some photos. Please comment or email me with questions. To people new to this blog, this boat was in an accident, which you can read more about here. Everything is repairable, I’ve just decided not to repair–I’ve moved ashore. I know of some great yards and shipwrights (who’ve been recommended to me) if you’re interested in buying the boat but would like help making the repairs. If you know how to make the repairs yourself, perfect.
The big ticket items on this boat (engine, rigging, sails, winches, head unit) are in great condition. I’ve priced the boat based on a wholesale price of the cumulation of these parts.

Just saw your blog for the first time today. Shame about what happened to your boat. Good luck to you on your future adventures. Looks like a nice boat.
Oh no. You sold? Not worth the repair. Did you not like living on a boat the whole time?
Winter aboard isn’t as much fun, and because the incident happened at the end of July, my summer aboard wasn’t the best either. The idea of living on any boat for another winter, after a poopy summer, was a hard future to face. Unlike a wrecked car, you can’t just park a boat anywhere, it costs mullah, and I decided it just wasn’t worth it to me. Once I sold the boat most of my stress melted away. So I’m a landlubber once again, and enjoying the private hot showers where I can sing my heart out without being heard.
Yep, been there done that. Like my house with a back yard and shop.
