Nice video. I bought a $300 Starwind 19. She was surprisingly solid but heavily encrusted with barnacles and oysters. Plan to see a launch when she's ready.

Really nice job on the renovation! Nothing classier then a navy blue hull!

Very niice job! On the water, I noticed your jib luff was not fully tensioned, it was sagging away from the forestay. Also, the clew outhaul on the boom end was not hauled in enough, which made the sail baggy, and shifted the centre of effort aft, sailing upwind as you were, resulting in excessive weather helm. That's why you had so much water pressure on the rudder because the boat's bow was being forced into the wind, so you had to steer to leeward especially in the gusts. Very tiring. Get your sail shapes right and I'd bet she'd sail as good as she looks. Greetings from Nick, beside Southampton water, U.K.

Great job on the boat restoration! My husband and I are getting ready to obtain the same type of boat.....I'm so excited!

Amazing restoration job. That is one really really nice boat.

Good Job....Shining like a new shilling and zipping along nicely!

I cannot believe how great of a work you did! Awesome stuff!

I just bought one of these but it’s a 1993 Learning how to sail. Spent the night on it Saturday and absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing your video

Nice work and vid! Just bought a LiFePO4 battery from mine. Like the way u've incorporated solar panels with the bimini. Good future proj! 👍😊

You're right, great boats. I'm on my second Com-Pac. You really did a first class job on your 16. On my CP16 I removed the control head of my trolling motor and sent the shaft up through a through-hull. Worked like a dream. Great vid. Thanks. 👍🏼#147

Fantastic looking boat! Great job!

Stunning looking little sail boat

My first sailboat was a ComPac 16 sailed her on Lake Erie bought it in Detroit area 2008 ish. Great Boat. One was sailed from Fl to Bahamas and back so very seaworthy. The C16 was to small for my family so I moved up to my current boat a Montgomery 17!!! 😂 I’ve had a couple others in between up to 26’ but..the bigger the boat the more hassle and less you sail IMO

Fun! I found this because I’m considering buying a Compac 16.

Greetings from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 🇬🇧Beautiful resto and sailing vid. Im new to sailing but reading and watching a lot youtube sailing content. Love the mini tucked away in the garage too (ive owned 7 in total).

I’ve learned to trust my 16 in heavy stuff. It took a while. They’ll take care of you

Gorgeous boat, dude.Nice job.

I’m looking to buy a compact 16 hopefully this week and your video was so helpful. I’d like to talk to you about how you did some of the things to make it look so great.

you did a really nice job FYI if you're "pulling" on the tiller it means you're being over powered...let out the mail till it's neutral. or reef

Great job on the boat -- and thanks for a very entertaining video!

I've got the same motor both the 3hp and 4hp model. Great motors.

excellent job, what a great boat!

Excellent work on the boat!

Nicely done!

what a great video!

Nice resto fella, cute mini weekender pocket cruiser, puts me in mind of the Macwester Kelpie from the sixties and seventies built in Macwesters yard in Littlehampton Sussex on the river Arun The Kelpie was built in several versions with the day boat being the prettiest.. Two things first your plastic anchor chain feeder should point sternward facing the bow as it does is a recipe for aquatic disaster in a sudden squall. And two being thirty odd years older than you I would not be happy unless I had that boat over on her beam ends and powering along in the gusts. seems to me you have two options change your rudder design or extend the tiller. You could try buying yourself a breakbarrel air rifle a lot of shooting will strengthen your left arm. yea I know thats three, better sign out now before I come up with more.

Thanks

Beautiful restoration! How did you do the gold pinstripe? Looks great 👍🏼

Great restoration job! I am in process of restoring Compac 16 1980 and contemplating separating the boat in order to properly restore inside. Also that Bimini looks great what were the final measurements? Any other suggestions ? Looking forward to more from your channel.

Great job on the boat! I have a Compac 19 that I'm running electric as well and loving it. Question for you, where did you source that bimini? I've been searching for a smaller one like that with no luck. Thanks!

Beautiful restoration work! I am bringing a 1987 Compac 16 back to life so great ideas gathered from your video. I really like the forward hatch you added. Would you mind sharing where you found it at? Thanks

👍

Nice work, but putting the electrics in the chain locker with a large hospipe isn't going to end well if the wind gets up. Otherwise nice.

I was scratching my head when you said “ease the main sheet”

Great job I love the compacts beautiful work you have done to that beauty I have a compact 23, where do you sail I'm in Daytona Port Orange Ponce inlet where did you purchase your solar set up

Great video! I have an 87 Compac 16-3 that I am loving except the tiny cabin. My last boat was a Morgan 22. I notice you are able to sail with your bimini up. I have a stock one but it is too tall and hits the boom. I thought about putting in a reef and raising the boom. Did you say you cut yours down?

Nice boat! Will it fit into a 20’ garage w/trailer?

Curious where you were able to purchase the Teak wood parts at...I heard Hutchins but having a hard time finding them..

The mask holders are so clever 😂

How well did the 1 hp electric motor work out . I like electric propulsion but wonder if 1 hp was enough for over over 15 knots 8:33 conditions.

I am working on some repairs to a sailboat now. I wish you showed more about how you opened the boat up. Do the Com-Pacs have much plywood down inside the hull? Also how you fasten it back together. One more question: do you like the motor mount, it looks like one I am considering on Amazon.

I'm going to restore a 16' Roy Green Rebel. 1954. And that gel coat doesn't say it contains wax. Gel coat won't cure without some sort of protection from the air wax or PVA. What did you try. Or not try.

Nice Boat , where is that launch ramp located ? thanks .

You can put the rail down on a 16 but no point. Speed gain is minimal or none. Trim more effective.

Hello, where. Did you bought the electrical motor ?😊

still got the ip 27? no new videos with it.

Thank god Im not the one buying boats 😂

Boat is beautiful congrats, but sail shape is one of the worst I have seen.

Your solar panel will fail. They are flexible for installation, not suitable for flapping around on canvas.
