The Island PACKET 44 is a 13.4-meter cutter-rigged sailboat designed by Robert K. Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts between 1992 and 1996.1:09 This full-keel blue water cruiser has a displacement of 12,655 kg and a draft of 1.5 meters.2:01 A recurring concern for the model involves its original factory-embedded 304-grade stainless steel chainplates, which are prone to crevice corrosion when exposed to moisture and deprived of oxygen.3:16 Replacing these chainplates, a known maintenance item rather than a structural defect, typically costs $15,000 to $20,000, though owners can reduce costs by performing preparatory work or installing external chainplates.4:50 Once this issue is addressed, the vessel offers substantial tankage and a stable, conservative rig suitable for long-term liveaboard cruising.7:10 Smart buyers leverage the chainplate issue during price negotiations to acquire the boat at a reduced entry cost.5:27
