1998 Com-Pac Picnic Cat

This is a very special 14 foot Com-Pac Picnic Cat in fantastic condition. Like all Com-Pac boats the build quality is top notch…solid hand-laid fiberglass, bass fittings, teak trunk, etc. The boat has been fitted with the highly desirable IdaSailor rudder and two sails are included…one white sail with reef points and a lighter weight and original tanbark sail. Both are in good condition. New sheets and halyards were installed last year. A lightly used 2hp Honda outboard is included. My Picnic Cat is a 1998 however it has been lightly sailed and in storage most of its life. Originally an Ohio boat it was only sailed in fresh water and rarely until I bought it a few years ago. The elder original owner clearly enjoyed puttering with the boat but did not sail it often. His handiwork is evidenced by the meticulous decorative rope and leather work shown in the photos. The boat has been kept indoors or under cover and comes with custom Sunbrella cover for the boat, gallows, tiller and rudder. I put new galvanized rims, tires and bearings on the galvanized trailer last year and the boat has been towed less than 200 miles since. If you are familiar with Com-Pacs hinged tabernacle arrangement you know the mast easily folds down over the boom and gaff rigged sail to rest on the boom gallows. The system allows for quick set up and convenient in-place transport and storage. You can raise and lower the mast single handedly in minutes with minimal effort. The broad hull form and the low center-of-effort of her gaff-rigged sail make her very stable with a huge self-bailing cockpit that has plenty of room with lots of storage under the seats. The Picnic Cat has a stainless steel centerboard rather than a keel which swings up as well as kick up rudder drafting only 6” making her bleachable.
