Lesley and I headed up to Largo on Wednesday to pick up some things that we needed for our boat and also for a 38 that I'm working on this summer. Karsten met us at the reception area and we got an unexpected tour of the Blue Jacket production area. Karsten indicated that they were now finishing work on hull #6 of the new boat and there were several more in hull layup. It was nice to see so many people working again but surprising that they were not making any Island Packets.
We left Largo and headed back to PG after stopping in Sarasota for a nice lunch.

Interesting.. I didn't even know about the Bluejacket line. Your post made me look it up.
ReplyDeleteIP is kind of a Niche Cult Boat. Maybe they are trying to produce something with a bit more mass appeal. Don't really know if it has the same quality and price points as an IP or if its going to be cheaper. It's hard to cough up the $$$ for one of these big boys!
