JP´s sailing page

I started sailing with friends on lake Geneva when I was about fifteen, we used to sail 470´s up to Fireballs, it was fun, wet and sometimes cold. Later, travelling and living in different countries, I was able to sail in Mexico(Valle de Bravo), Trinidad (racing to Grenada in 1975), Honduras (The Bay Islands), Panama and Brazil (from Parati, the base of the known  Amyr Klink  . I owned a 32 footer in Panama, the Pamela 1 (scanned picture, the Pamela 1 in the Pearl Islands, near San José island).
The Pamela 1 is a Islander 32 from 1964, so it is an early Islander 32 not to be confused with the MK II model. The previous owner had installed a new Yanmar 2GM and it is a good engine for the boat. I had new sails made (see pictures on the bottom of the page), and I installed a jib furling system from Profurl. After some paint and varnish work plus some good old TLC, the Pamela 1 was in a nice shape for her age, pity I had to sell and leave Panama. For more information on Islander boats, check  here.
