Hi Larry, When I had my O'Day 222, I managed to reduce the hunting greatly by using a bridle connection to my mooring pennant. The 222 had center hole cleats...
I guess I will have to do my mea culpas - the 16 will point and get where I want to go in a stiff wind. For only second time this season I actually got on the...
I have a 1990 CP16-3 for sale. It is in great condition. The boat has been stored indoors for the last 7 years and only day sailed for the last 2. Sails are in...
Think a P-16.5 weighs about 700 lbs. Often wondered how much differance that 400 lbs would make. ... From: Craig Maven To: com-pac Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005...
Bully for you Craig. Ain't it fun? The more you test your boat and yourself under such conditions the more you know precisely what she'll do and how far you...
Nice Ideas Dave I picked up a tip from Dallas Thomas, who now has a Bayfield 25, having sold his pristine CP 23. He wrapped the two painters with...

Good show Craig . . . Every boat has its pros and cons and the CP 16 certainly has WAY MORE pros than cons. I find that in a decent breeze it will keep up with...
I am considering a 155% genoa purchase and have a couple questions. 1) Is your tack the same height off the deck as the 135? 2) Is the standard genoa track...
How about in heavy weather? Many years ago, I read an article about Jo Bailey (writer of sailing destinations in Puget Sound). If I remember correctly, she...

Yes, but I'm wondering at what windspeed the lightning has to quit while the CP16 would have been a great boat for Capt Bligh (or a Canadian lifeboat?) ... ...
In heavy weather my ComPac goes fast, but the Lightening goes ... My Hobicat beats a Lightning in any weather. I can live two weeks aboard my ComPac. I have...
I could have live a long time before hearing someone call a Hobicat a live-aboard. That's not necessarily something one would want to admit. Just kidding....
No only that , Bill, but living aboard a Hobi is far more comfortable that doing it aboard a Com-Pac. Consider that a Hobi 16 is little more than a Queen sized...

When I was younger, I loved sailing a Hobiecat but the idea of camping on her didn't appeal - Now that I'm a lot older the opposite is true: Camping with a...
Let your younger buddy do it while you sit out on the bow of the highest hull letting the wind blow the years off you. Just lean back against the trampoline...
Recently my 4-horse coughed and sputtered and had a hard time deciding whether it wanted to live or die as high waves washed me closer and closer to thundering...
Ah, yes... My little Johnson was consuming fuel at greater and greater rates and one day starting vomiting fuel out of the air intake. Needless to say the old...
Hey Fellow Sailors I've a question for those who have marine heads on their great Com-pac Ships. Mine has a built in (from the factory I'm assuming) head...
