Bought a Com-Pac 23

The search is finally over. Today I purchased a Com-Pac 23. It was maintained by a gentleman who also owns a Flika, but doesn't have the need for both. It is in really nice condition for a 27 year old boat, and I got a great deal on it! There are a few things that need fixing and it could use a good cleaning, but overall nothing too serious. The only thing that is still pending is the sea trial.

I bought it on the east coast of Florida, and will be taking it through the Okeechobee Waterway on my way back to Tampa during my vacation next month.

I forgot the camera, but you can see some pictures here:

I will try to post some better ones next week during the sea trial.

I'm jealous

Great deal ! I would love to have a Compac 23. That's on my short list for my next boat. Looks like a good boat.

Good for you! A rugged little cruiser. Our first cuddy sailboat was a ComPac 16II and we lugged that boat all over the place.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Congrats! Good choice.

We always see one tied up at the dock over in St, Michael's Md whenever we visit there -- we always pause to admire it.

Had the sea trial yesterday. It rained the whole time, but otherwise went well. Closed on the boat... not it is mine for real. This time I remembered the camera, but the batteries died. Found a place to keep the boat in Tampa, which is no easy task. Now I am gathering the necessary gear needed to bring the boat over from the east coast next month. It should be fun. I will make sure to have the camera with batteries charged for that!
