Meet M'Lady

Meet M'Lady

M'Lady is a 1972 Islander 30' MKII Sailboat. She was commissioned and documented in San Francisco and still bears the name on her stern. M’Lady claims the bay area as her home port although she hasn’t been there for a number of years. She has served as a live-aboard in her younger days and has sailed the Pacific West Coast, the waters off Canada and the Puget Sound of Washington State. M’Lady now makes her home along the Texas Gulf Coast. I purchased M’Lady in the winter of 1989 and have been totally satisfied ever since. She has served me well and has taken her crew on many an adventure.

Designer: Robert Finch
Builder: Islander Yachts
Year: 1972
Hull No. 14
LOD: 30'
LWL: 24' 7"
Beam: 10'
Draft: 5' 0"
Displacement: 8,600 lbs.

M’Lady’s main cabin is warm and cozy. She has an Alaskan yellow cedar tongue-n-grove overhead, mahogany bulkheads, teak and holly strip planked decks. Many a winter night has been spent snuggled up to the wood burning stove on the forward bulkhead keeping warm while reading a favorite book by the light of one of M’Lady’s oil lamps.

.

Her galley is equipped with a gimbaled stove and oven, so baking while underway is no problem. M’lady has deep stainless steel sinks to help hold down the throwing of water about the cabin when the going gets rough.

Navigation is taken seriously onboard M’Lady. A continuous dead reckoning trace is kept at all times while she is underway in open waters. Latitude and longitude are tracked by a Global Positioning System (GPS) and plotted on charts with the use of this full-size chart table and plotting arm.
