The Com-Pac 16 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Clark Mills as a small cruiser and first built in 1972.[1][2][3]

The design was superseded in production by the Com-Pac Legacy in 2006.[4]

Production

The design was built by Com-Pac Yachts in the United States, starting in 1972. Over 2,800 boats were completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3][5]

Design

The Com-Pac 16 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars and a bowsprit. The hull has a spooned plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin, shoal-draft keel.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 18 in (46 cm) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people in two 96 in (240 cm) berths. The head is a portable type. Ventilation is provided by a single foredeck hatch. Stowage space includes a lazarette.[3]

For sailing the design may be equipped with either a working jib or a genoa. It has jiffy reefing, navigation lights, a stainless steel pulpit, a boarding ladder and a self-bailing cockpit.[3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 326. It is normally raced with a crew of two sailors.[3]
