FOR SALE BY OWNER – ISLAND PACKET 460
2009 – Hull #8
Cutter Loose is one of only twelve IP 460s manufactured by Island Packet Yachts since this model was introduced at the 2008 fall boat shows. The IP 460 builds on the success of IPY’s previous two cabin/two head/aft cockpit configurations. In 2009, the IP 460 was awarded the Best Long-Distance Cruiser and overall Boat-of-the-Year Award by Cruising World Magazine.
Construction of hull #8 was completed in January, 2009. Following initial commissioning, she was launched in June, 2009. Since then, she has capably plied the waters between Maine and Grenada, carrying her owners safely and comfortably on the adventure of a lifetime.
No expense has been spared to equip this boat sensibly for offshore passages and carefree livability during extended periods at anchor. She is ready to carry her crew anywhere in the world in comfort, safety and style.
Whether your aspirations involve a circumnavigation, tropical island-hopping, coastal cruising or simply a spacious and comfortable home-away-from-home on the water, Cutter Loose is capable of fulfilling all of these dreams and more. Discriminating buyers should not miss this opportunity to own and enjoy this extraordinary example of the best and most spacious aft cockpit design ever to be produced by Island Packet Yachts.
Let us introduce you to some of the features of this capable cruiser. Here she is with her distinctive red boot stripe on the final assembly line inside the Island Packet factory in Largo, Florida in late November, 2008.

Access to the engine room for repairs and maintenance is an important and desirable quality in a yacht. The IP 460 provides four convenient points of access to the ship’s mechanicals.
One of the best features of the IP 460 is her cavernous lazarette compartment, located aft of and beneath the cockpit. This area provides over 400 cubic feet of weatherproof space for storage of gear and supplies, including fenders and folding bicycles.

Storage space is highly coveted by cruising sailors. Storage on the IP 460 is not limited to the lazarette compartment. These stowage plan diagrams depict the locations of the numerous storage compartments throughout the cabin.
During the commissioning process, we insisted on the highest level of quality and care. That is exactly what we received from the outstanding commissioning team of John and Andrew at Gratitude Yachting Services in Rock Hall, MD.
All new wiring added during the commissioning process was carefully labeled.
In order to prevent chafe, all cables passing through bulkheads were enclosed in protective conduits.
The Spectra Cape Horn Supreme 12V DC water maker system is installed below the aft stateroom berth.

The air conditioning system is installed beneath the port settee in the salon and beneath the forward stateroom island berth.
Now, let’s have a look in and around the cockpit.
The stern arch supports a variety of energy and communications systems as well as davits that position the dinghy high above the waterline.

The stern platform provides ample space for swimming and boarding the boat from the dinghy.
Now that we’re on deck, let’s move forward to the bow.

A Beautiful Yacht! The photos and their sequence are perfect. The interspersed sailing shots add lots of value. Well done!
Hello,
I was looking at your beautiful boat and was wondering where she is currently located? We have our IP 37 on the market and are looking to move up a bit in size. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
