Blue Jacket 40 2019 "POOH CORNER II"

The Island Packet Blue Jacket 40 was a masterful collaboration between Tim Jackett (Tartan Yachts) and Bob Johnson (Island Packet Yachts) that created the 2014 Domestic Boat of the Year for the Cruising World magazine's Boat of the Year judges. "Combining the performance pedigree to compete effectively in around-the-buoy racing, with the comfort, build quality and ease of use that would gratify the entire family," the Blue Jacket 40 delivers on all fronts. In full disclosure, this broker was along for the whole ride, from inception, through development, build and sea trials in my prior role as VP of Sales and Marketing for Island Packet, and I LOVE this boat. Pooh Corner II was purchased new, in Florida, by a California couple, who were not able to use the boat as intended when the pandemic broke out shortly after delivery in late 2019 and travel restrictions prevented their visits to the boat. Now, a little over three years later, Pooh has just 115 hours on the engine with everything else in "like-new" condition. Nicely equipped for cruising, with solar, full canvas package, air conditioning and an arch with davits, adding a few more goodies will complete the outfitting and get the new owners on their way to new adventures in style.
