History of Islander Sailboats

Islander Sailboats, originally founded as McGlasson Marine, began its journey in 1958 in Costa Mesa, California. The brainchild of boat designer Joe McGlasson, the company quickly earned a reputation for producing quality sailboats, particularly the Islander 36, which became one of their most iconic models. McGlasson Marine transitioned into Islander Yachts during the 1960s, aligning better with their expanding range of sailboats designed for both casual sailors and competitive racers. The popularity of their designs helped anchor their place in the burgeoning boating community of Southern California and beyond.Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Islander Sailboats thrived, producing a variety of models including the Islander 30, Islander 28, and Islander Freeport series. These boats were celebrated for their innovative designs, robust construction, and competitive performance. Islander Sailboats were especially noted for their commitment to balancing comfort, performance, and ease of handling, making them a favourite among cruising enthusiasts.Islander Sailboats experienced various ownership changes and financial challenges leading into the late 1980s, which eventually resulted in the company ceasing production. Today, the brand does not manufacture new boats, but the legacy of Islander Sailboats lives on through a dedicated community of owners and enthusiasts who maintain and cherish these vessels. Many original Islander models continue to sail in waters across the world, a testament to their enduring design and build quality.
