Seller's Description

ASKING PRICE REDUCED on 05/05/25 from $27k to $25k.

Designed by Clark Mills and built by the Hutchins Corporation of Florida, the Com-Pac 23 MK IV is an upgrade from the original first introduced in 1997 which was followed after the MK3. The hull is the same as previous models, but there are interior modifications. The Com-Pac 23 has a 2 cabin layout for privacy, berths for four adults and loads of storage and a slide out galley sink. Below she is adorned with rich teak throughout including a teak and holly cabin sole. A stowable table can be set up with removable leg to secure it in place. Six SS opening ports, along with the forward deck hatch and companionway, assure cross ventilation welcomed on those hot days. Atop her tandem axle trailer, shes a go anywhere yacht and is legally trailerable with less than an 8 beam so no need for permits. Her hand laid hull with longitudinal and transverse stringers add rigidity. And her cored deck offer stiffness and insulation. Shes designed and built for extended cruising or simple day sailing. Charms 23 draft, fin keel makes her easy to launch and retrieve on most any ramp and her masthead sloop rig is easy to step. Getting the boat rigged is not a big ordeal and shell be ready to sail in a short time. Charm has a 7-1/2 self-bailing cockpit with a gas tank storage locker and port and starboard seat lockers. Her helm is a tiller with an outboard rudder hanging on the transom which is easily removed for storage. This boat is in immaculate condition very well cared for by a very conscientious owner who remarks that Charm is a wonderful sailboat, roomy and comfortable for her size and nicely appointed. We love the large side decks, large cockpit and comfortable cabin. She is a very secure and stable sailing vessel. Theres room for a Porta Potti in the forepeak (not included). Shes basic, simple & easy to maintain. Manuals for the boat and furler included.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.7 kn
Classic: 6.03 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.65 knots
Classic formula: 6.03 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.9
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
16.85
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
44.7
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

44.67
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
161.5
100-200: light

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
161.49
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
13.9
<20: lightweight racing boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
13.89
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.17
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

A bowsprit was added for this model (beginning in 1984). In 1989, the builder began offering an optional 9 hp Yanmar inboard diesel engine. The newest model is called the COM-PAC 23/4.
