Overnight cruise and test of a Com Pac 19. We run into strong winds and have great sailing. We also do a short boat tour and discuss the attributes of the new cruiser. A challenging surprise is found in the morning.

Thanks! It’s been fun getting to know Eric and see his passion and experience in sailing. I’m so thrilled they were able to get this boat and I look forward to hearing of the family adventures.

I've been sailing a Compac 16 for 35 years (on my fourth!) and can attest to their performance and longevity. I think your buddy would benefit from a jib downhaul, I hate going forward since I singlehand almost exclusively and don't like the idea of ending up in the drink and the boat sailing off without me!

@olivei2484 Ай бұрын

Add a vote for jib downhaul. As a retired foredeck, they are a huge help.

@ericjnelson6442 Ай бұрын

Jib downhaul is definitely next on my list!!

@ruddyducksailing Ай бұрын

After finally sailing on a com pac I can say they are great boats. I definitely agree a jib downhaul is very important on a trailer sailer. I love mine and it saves me from a lot of dangerous situations. Except for on our trip mine came uncleated in 20+ winds and wrapped all up in the forestay so I had to go on deck for that one while the boat sailed itself.

@@ruddyducksailingOurs clipped to halyard, ran along forstay, and back to cabin roof. The sail hanks clipped it in , so unless it broke, it was all contained.

why not use roller fuhrler ? good investment if you are going to be keeping the boat for few years

Hi there Brian -Eric I have a compac 19 here for n the gorge near Hoodriver or. I have taken her to Lake Chelan a couple of times loved it up there . Hope to get up to north Idaho sometime to sail that area. In July my son and I are doing the Salish Sea 100 from Olympia to Port Townsend wa . I bit nervous about the tides ect . I sure enjoy your videos and will look for some more Compac 19 videos and insight from you all , thank you so much for your content.

@ruddyducksailing Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching!! I’m sure you guys will do great in the Salish 100. I’ve never done it but it sounds like an amazing trip and there should be lots of people around with good advice.

@user-lz2xh2ci8w Ай бұрын

Hi guys I have a video suggestion, It would be really cool if you did a short video on the set up of how you camp on board ie sleeping arrangement, refrigeration and what you usually pack for overnight trips

@ruddyducksailing Ай бұрын

That’s a great idea. I’ll keep that in mind for a future video!

@marklanders630 12 күн бұрын

Crazy to think that there are people building boats smaller than this to sail around the world.

@ruddyducksailing 11 күн бұрын

That is crazy, and also inspiring! With the trend moving towards 50’+ boats to cross an ocean it’s good to know there’s still guys out there that can do it in a 15 footer.

@RulgertGhostalker Ай бұрын

the sail area is quoted by the main and fore triangle, so it's not bragged up, but still looks like a 115% jib so SA/D closer to 15, which isn't bad for a 2 foot draft. I want to get a sail boat someday; so I am always looking over specs, and thinking....but I will probably end up with a used sail board. ( nearest lake is a mine field of underwater stumps )

@ruddyducksailing Ай бұрын

Stumps and sailboats don’t mix. Sailboard would be a lot of fun though

@SailingrumrunnerII 19 күн бұрын

My 16 is the same with tacking. Really have to back wind the jib. Solid in weather though

@ruddyducksailing 19 күн бұрын

I think the stability and sailability of the compacs are worth the trade off of slower tacks and maneuvering. They sail nice and handle a lot of weather. The 16 is definitely a boat I hope I get the chance to sail on or maybe purchase someday! Fair winds

@SailingrumrunnerII 19 күн бұрын

@@ruddyducksailing I agree. Much less harrowing in high winds with the 400lb keel. Fair winds to you as well

shoal vs. swing....it would obviously be less drag, but doesn't seem like it would hold as much sail. of course less drag is less heal with more forward, a real trailer sailor's debate there.

@ruddyducksailing Ай бұрын

Definitely a debate. I think the biggest factor is weight and stability. My buddy was still sailing his full keel when I just didn’t have enough ballast or people on the rail to keep my swing keel upright! Can’t wait for my new sails with reefs

@RulgertGhostalker Ай бұрын

@@ruddyducksailing nothing like reef point when you need them, that's for sure .... your SA/D is probably higher....I could look it up and see I suppose.

@@ruddyducksailing Oop I don't see any space for a back-stay ... but the Com-Pac 19 SA/D = 14.65 where the Newport 16 SA/D = 26.6 ....that is a major difference in available power per weight of vessel ...14.65 is like a motor-sailor, ( where the sail is just saving fuel, if it were a deeper keel boat ) where 26.6 is like a racer.
