Superyacht Islander in Fort Lauderdale

When launched back in 1991 by Australian Yacht Builders, Islander (ex: The Other Woman) was one of the most extraordinary sailing yachts ever launched. She featured two tall masts, as well as twin 2330 HP MTU 12V4000 diesels, powering twin waterjets. More recently, Islander's masts were removed, and is now in the process of being been turned into a motoryacht.
