1985 Com-Pac 23 II

Step below and you can feel that this little cruiser has been owned by a detail‑oriented sailor. The sail wardrobe alone reads like a racer’s kit, giving you the right canvas for anything from ghosting breezes to punchy afternoon squalls. The mast‑raising setup and serious stern crutch mean you’re not wrestling with rigging at the ramp; you’re up, tuned, and away in short order. Teak cockpit grates under bare feet, a rail‑mount grill, and easy swim access invite long, lazy evenings on the hook. With a garage‑kept trailer and gear cache curated over years, this is a turn‑key sailor’s boat, not a bare hull you have to outfit from scratch.

A Com-Pac 23 II shines where waters run skinny, breezes can be fickle, and launch ramps are your gateway to adventure. The compact length and moderate beam make towing and ramp launching straightforward, while the fixed shoal keel opens up quiet creeks, sandbars, and tucked‑away coves that deeper boats must pass by. Generous sail options let you keep the boat moving in light morning air yet stay comfortable when afternoon winds pipe up. Inside, the simple, efficient cabin layout works well for overnighting at anchor or waiting out a passing front. It’s a forgiving, easily handled pocket cruiser that rewards local exploring as much as longer coastal hops.
