      Development


      McGlasson approached Glas Laminates to build a version of his wooden Catalina 24.3/info/islander" target="_blank">Islander in fiberglass. The mold was created by using the hull of one of the wooden boats and the resulting fiberglass boats retained the distinctive wooden board imprints from the mold. The 24.3/info/islander" target="_blank">Islander 24 features a trunk cabin, but the raised deck 24.3/info/islander" target="_blank">Islander 24 Bahama version proved a bigger commercial success and the 24.3/info/islander" target="_blank">Islander 24 had a relatively short production run.
