Michael and Melissa Harlow, The Adventure Travelers (us) sailed over 10,500 miles in our Island Packet Yacht. We attributed our safe travels to our unwavering safety procedures and the safety features that we knew were important in a bluewater boat that could take us across the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia.
After researching all the cruising boats available to us, we decided that the Island Packet was the boat that would bring us home safely, no matter what we encountered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The following is a list of the safety features we review in this video:
Rack and pinion steering
Emergency tiller steering
Safe, tight cockpit
Continuous cockpit seating/lounging
Stainless steel, safety “D” rings in the cockpit and galley
