As Barnacle Bill said, the vessel is an "Out Island". There is a vessel known as an Islander, but no Out Islander. The Out Island series was produced in lengths of 28,33,36,41,and 51. With their shoal draft and stays fitted to chain plates outside the hull, Their ability to point to windward is less than a performance designed boat, but despite Barnacle Bill's comments, I would not agree that any Out Island would require an engine start for tacking. Those that have difficulty tacking a boat with a keel contiguous with the rudder are often more accustomed to the pivoting capabilities of a fin keel design or they may be sailing with the headsail overpowering their main in light air. Certainly, the techniques for tacking a heavy displacement full keel vessel will not transfer from a light weight fin keel boat. Catalina's design of the Morgan Out Island "Classic" changed the keel design to more easily allow someone with less experience to tack these boats and they did improve some performance traits. As an owner living aboard and cruising 33' and 41' Morgan Out Islands from 1973 to present, I would draw attention to the following to look for when looking at an Out Island to purchase:
1. Look of hairline cracks at the port/starboard seam of the rudder laminates that are a prelude to separation and failure. A rebuild and a fiberglass tabbing of the seam may be necessary.
2. Inspect the mast step for corrosion.
3. Inspect the back up plate for the headstay at the stemhead for corosion or separation.
4. Soft spots in the deck core are common due to water intrusion. This is a cosmetic, not a sructural problem, but a rigorous repair.
5. Be wary of any hull deck joint damage and separation on the older OI series where the hull-deck joint is at the rubrail rather than the less vulnerable toe rail.
Take care and joy, Aytthya crew
