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.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
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.
