9' ft Com Pac 23/3 1990

Don't miss your chance. Price Reduced!! Can't go any lower. The dealer is willing to take her in trade. She can be yours for less than market value.
The boat:
Traditional styling, looks great! Easy to sail, 2 halyards, 2 sheets.
Comfortable berths; 6-bronze opening ports, 1 large hatch, and 1 cowl-vent allow plenty of ventilation. Cockpit hatch has a screen. Large cockpit can seat 6. Laminated wood tiller.
Purchased new, I am the one and only owner. Fresh water only, very well maintained (most people can't believe she is that old). There were 4 seasons I couldn't sail and boat was stored ashore. Stored indoors the years I lived in the midwest (6 winters).
Parts replaced parts with equivalent or better. Only 10 holes ever drilled 5 for VHF and antennae connections, 4 for bimini, 1 to replace foredeck fitting of plastic with bronze; so she is ready for you to customize.
New bottom job this year (barrier coat and bottom paint), new bimini installed this year, 2001 UK main, 1994 135% jib, hatchboards are solid teak. You may hear of rudder slop on older compacs. I had Torlon bushings installed and have had no problems (this is the material Schaeffer uses in roller-furling bearings). Recently replaced blocks for halyards and mainsheet. Hefty backing plates installed for mainsheet blocks, genoa track, and bow-eye.
Her name "Thunderchild" was hand-painted with 1 part urethane boot-stripe paint on the sides. I would include dock lines, anchor, anchor line, flares, life jackets, so she would be ready to sail.
One note from me: You may have also heard that Compacs are slow. They are not. They won't point to windward like an America's Cup boat, but off the wind the shoal keel is hydrodynamically more efficient (there was an article in Cruising World a few years back that discussed the trade-offs associated with the different keel types), and I have often left other boats wondering if they were dragging their anchor. I even passed a J-24 once. Again, they don't do as well to windward, but they are fast enough to be fun to sail.


The motor:
8 hp Honda 4-stroke outboard with extra long shaft. This is before Honda switched to the larger block for the 8 hp so it is only 77 pounds. I believe the new ones are around 84-88. This motor just went through an extensive overhaul with new gaskets, water pump, and ignition unit($700 worth).

The trailer:
New tires, new surge brake activator and hitch unit.
