1987 ComPac 16/2

  • This boat has a fixed keel (no moving parts to break), a draft of only 18 inches, a cabin with 2 berths (8ft) with cushions, and a 6ft 11inch cockpit! Please note that this is a Com-Pac 16/2, the 2 refers to an important design change which included the adding of a bow sprit, increasing the size of the jib to improve balance and performance, the addition of genoa tracks, and a highly finished cabin. Most Com-Pac 16's before 1987 do not have these modifications! Be careful when comparing.

    This particular boat comes with:

  • 3 Sails: 1 main and 2 genoas 123 % and 155% (all in good condition, no tears or tape)
  • 4hp Mercury outboard (2000): very good condition (although has not been used this year), the outboard has a "piggyback" gas tank on engine itself avoiding having to bring gasoline on board. I have two small children so this was a great feature for us. Also, not having a gas can on board eliminates the fumes that often prevent other owners from overnighting in the cabin.
  • Cockpit bimini (shade cover)
  • Electronics: cockpit mounted compass and knotmeter
  • Cockpit cushions: New 2002
  • Boarding ladder
  • Deep cell marine battery for running lights, cabin light, compass/knotmeter light, with an "cigarette lighter" adaptor for cell phones etc. (will need charge)
  • Boom vang
  • Hutchins galvanized trailer: good condition, surface rust only, tires in good shape, bearing buddies (only used once since repacked) *I have a title to trailer, boat is currently registered in my name (NC does not require title). I have, however, ordered a title just to make life easier for whoever buys the boat.

    Issues:

  • The deck at one time was painted, the paint has since been removed by a previous owner leaving some cosmetic areas (see photos). A minor professional repair of the front of the keel was made in the past (see photos). The bottom has never been painted so you can see the overall good condition it is in (no hidden problems). The small stainless cover for the chain locker on deck has a broken hinge but remains functional. The chain locker in the bow is no longer used because a much more convenient rail mounted one has been made from pvc.
  • This boat is very stable, easy to launch and rig, sails in very shallow water, reasonably priced parts are readily available (Hutchins Marine), and should give it's next owner years of low cost use. There really are very few small boats out there that can fit in your garage yet provide the versatility that this little cruising sloop can. I am only selling because I have purchased another boat (picking it up next week!). You are welcome to inspect the boat. I'm happy to answer any questions.

    Thanks David, looks like she's sold! Please list her as such on your site. Many thanks to you and your fine site!!!
    A note: I had several email contacts shortly after the listing went up. They were poorly written, wanting to pay immediately with casheirs check, and seemed very suspect. I took your advise and deleted them. Just wanted to let you know. Much thanks, Tom
