Owners’ comments

Island Wind’s original owners were two Royal Navy engineering officers who cruised her from Salcombe and took good care of her. Since we bought her from them in 2011, she has been looked after by the same engineer, a former RNLI mechanic.

She has been a joy to sail, and has taken us safely around the French coast, as well as to all points between the Solent and the Isles of Scilly. The Tradewind 35 is of course designed for more adventurous passages and many have been around the world, single-handed.

What we really like about her:

Seakeeping. Her design and displacement mean that her motion is smooth and gentle even in difficult seas. Passages are much less tiring as a result.

Cutter Rig. More flexible and easier to handle than a big head-sail. Under stay-sail with a single reef in the main she will stand up comfortably in force 6 or 7. Downwind, she will make her way happily under stay-sail or yankee alone. She finds her balance easily and once in the groove needs just finger tips to steer her. Her weight means that she carries her way and is not easily stopped or knocked aside.

Layout. The main sheet and head-sail sheets can be controlled from the wheel. It is simple for the helm to communicate with someone at the chart table or in the galley.

The ease of moving about when at sea, whether on the flush deck or using the handholds below.

Comfort. She has a ‘boaty’, cozy feel below, but the headroom, natural light and ventilation make her more comfortable to live aboard than other traditional designs of similar length.

We had looked forward to several more sailing seasons, but illness means we are regretfully putting her on the market.

Brokers Comments

I concur with the sellers; Island Wind really is a very nice cozy boat, that has been well maintained and has plenty of equipment.
