This page is for discussion of ideas, questions and answers plus other talk between Islander 28 owners and friends.

This page won't work as smoothly should until learn how to create dynamic web pages. If you know how to generate web pages in PHP, ASP, JPS, ColdFusion or any other format that will pull data from a source, please contact me.

Until then I can assemble and post your questions and comments about our Islander 28 sailboats. To post a message, simply download this posting form, fill it out and send it back to me.

MessageTitle Adding a hatch in the cockpit sole for engine access?
MessageText I find it exceptionally difficult to get access to the back of the Volvo MD7A, stuffing box and fuel tank in my 1978 I-28.  I am seriously considering installing a metal access hatch for this purpose in the cockpit sole.  I would very much welcome hearing from anybody who has either done this or has come up with a better way to access this area of the boat.
