Islander (yawl)

Islander was the 34-foot yawl with which Harry Pidgeon sailed around the world single-handedly from 1921 to 1925.

[3] He accounts for his adventures in his book, Around the World Single-Handed: The Cruise of the Islander (1932).

Islander was modelled on Sea Bird, a 25-foot V-bottom boat that was designed by Charles D. Mower with input from Captain Thomas Fleming Day.

Islander was built mostly from oak, Douglas fir, and Oregon pine.

Writing about his voyage later, Pidgeon commented that Islander "proved to sail well, and all remarked on the ease with which she handled."
