Islander Freeport 36

  Exterior

Starting with the cockpit, here's the helmsman view. In the middle you have the compass. Directly to the left is the depth sounder and to the right is the knot meter. On the binnacle is the Raymarine Autohelm autopilot (we have a below decks drive attached directly to the rudder post) and on the right is the wind/direction and speed. The wind instrument is also integrated with the autohelm so we can follow either a compass course or the wind direction and the knotmeter is interfaced with the wind speed to show either true or apparent wind.

You can see on the left side of the companionway the utility winch and clutches for the main halyard and all the reefing lines. We've set it up so there's no reason to go forward to reef. On the right is the mainsheet winch.



This is looking from the starboard side into the cockpit. You'll note that we put in teak slats for the cockpit sole. Shown here is also the cockpit table folded out.


Looking aft you can see here the radar tower. We also use a little tackle attached to raise and lower the outboard to the dinghy.



This is looking forward on the starboard side. You'll note we put up netting (we have two small dogs) which is easily removed.



Going all the way forward, here's the anchor locker with the Loftrans windlass. We have two anchor systems. The primary is a 35lb CQR with 260' 5/8 chain. The secondary is a 15kg Bruce style with 30' 5/8 chain + 200' rope rode. The little box with the coiled cord you see in the picture is the remote control for the anchor. With it, I can lean out on the bow pulpit and watch the rode without having to mess around with foot switches (there's a hidden backup switch as well).

Here's the final exterior picture looking down along the port side. You can see our downwind pole in it's chocks. This is a 50-50 pole (carbon fiber + aluminum) so it's light and easy to deploy solo. You can also see the removable suncovers we have over the hatches. On the cabin top are through-bolted padeyes to tie down the dinghy.
