Seller's Description

Lovely and hard to find 1988 Com-Pac 16/3, hull #2562 (1st mark 3 hull). This is a great example of the classic Clark Mills designed trailerable cruiser. “Luna” (formerly “Saudade”) is one of the nicer examples of this wonderful boat. She’s easy to trailer, launch and sail, stable and sea kindly, with everything you need to get on the water and start sailing.

The Com-Pac 16 has beautiful traditional lines and a very functional cuddy cabin, with two long berths that extend under the cockpit seats, nice teak accents and a comfortable interior that includes a teak bulkhead leading to a forepeak with ample storage.

Luna easily fits in a garage and has been stored indoors for most of her life. At 1100 lbs total displacement, she’s easy to trailer and quite easy to launch. The boom and mast are strapped onto the trailer in custom PVC brackets, making the launch process very straightforward.

The Com-Pac 16’s shoal keel, drawing just 18”, makes it the perfect boat for “gunkholing”, exploring shallow areas. With 450 lbs of ballast, she’s very stable and secure, sailing like a larger boat.

The Com-Pac 16 included a bowsprit after 1986. The mark 3 was introduced in 1988, adding a foredeck hatch and halyards led aft to the cockpit.

“Luna” is a wonderful example of this fine design, with a gorgeous blue painted hull and a nearly new Tohatsu 4HP outboard.

I’m sad to have to part with “Luna” after owning her for nearly 20 years, but have bought a larger Com-Pac. So it’s time for “Luna” to find another owner who will enjoy her as much as we have over the years.

Equipment: - Bowsprit & bow pulpit - Foredeck hatch - Molded non-skid deck - Kick-up aluminum rudder - Swim ladder - Tohatsu 4HP 4-stroke long shaft w/approx 8 hrs - External fuel tank - Working jib - Genoa - Mainsail - Boom vang - Tiller tamer - Teak companionway rails - Teak seat in cockpit - Danforth anchor with rode - 2 berths w/cushions - Bimini - Fenders - Docklines - Electrical pkg w/interior light and nav lights (no battery) - Custom plexiglass companionway cover - Mainsail cover and bag for jib - Performance trailer with tilt - Hitch extensions

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.2 kn
Classic: 5.02 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

6.16 knots
Classic formula: 5.02 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.1
<16: under powered

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.
14.11
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.9
>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

40.88
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
178.6
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
178.63
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
10.6
<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
10.62
<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
2.3
>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
2.33
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
