About Me:
I love sailing! What else is there to say? I took up sailing when I was age 50. I had power boated prior to that, but always wanted to sail. I took a course with Offshore Sailing School in 2004 in the Florida Keys, which earned me US Sailing certifications in Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising and Bareboat Cruising. Currently own a Com Pac 19. Previous to this, owned a Com Pac 16.
Current location:
Macungie, PA
Destinations visited:
Florida Keys, Chesapeake, New Jersey shore

We started out with a MacGregor 17. Surprisingly enough the Com-pac sails a lot like the 17 did and my wife found that the com-pac was very stable and comfortable for her so like you I got what she liked best. We did test sail a new hunter 27 last month and neither of us liked it it's hull is shaped like the MacGregor 27 or SX model. They plane well with a big engine on her but she has a really bad breakover what it heels. It feels for all the world like it's going to just fall over. Now it catches itself well but I just didn,t like the feel of it.

I thoight that boat looked familier. I own a Com-Pac 16/3. She's on the hard right now being rehabed but I hope to be back on the water this fall. I designed and built a wheel helm for her and am in the process of installation, plus adding a depth gauge, VHF radio, Compass and maybe an entertainment system. She carries 2 batteries and a solar panel so can handle the power draw. I also use a trolling motor for aux. power so no gas on board. The only flamable on board would be the rum in the cooler.

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."

"Michael, From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement. Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"
