Islander (yawl)
The ''Islander'' was the 34-foot yawl with which Harry Pidgeon sailed around the world single-handedly from 1921 to 1925. Pidgeon thus became the second person, after Joshua Slocum, to do so.
==History==
The ''Islander'' was modelled on the ''Sea Bird'', a 25-foot V-bottom boat that was designed by Charles D. Mower with input from Captain Thomas Fleming Day. Pidgeon built the ''Islander'' from 1917 to 1918 using only $1,000 of materials. The ''Islander'' was built mostly from oak, Douglas fir, and Oregon pine. Writing about his voyage later, Pidgeon commented that the ''Islander'' "proved to sail well, and all remarked on the ease with which she handled."
Islander was also the trade name of a California based sailboat manufacturer.
