Com-Pac Picnic Cat, 2008 sailboat for sale
The Picnic Cat is from the drawing board of Clark Mills, designer of the Com-Pac Sun Cat, 23/IV, and former Com-Pac 16, and well known also as the designer of the Optimist Pram and the Windmill One Design. The Picnic Cat has a centreboard rather than a keel. With her centerboard up, the Picnic Cat is beachable.
Her broad hull form and the low center-of-effort of her gaff-rigged sail make her very stable. And her huge self-bailing cockpit and ample stowage offer unsurpassed comfort in a small, easily handled package.
She’s built of solid, hand-laid glass, with aluminum spars and stainless centerboard. In addition, the exclusive **Mastendr™ mast raising system revolutionizes the trailer-boating experience.
Picnic Cat Specifications Length Overall: 14 ft. 0 in. / 4.27 m Beam: 6 ft. 6 in. / 1.98 m Draft, board up: 0 ft. 6 in. / 0.81 m Draft, board down: 2 ft. 8 in. / 0.15 m Displacement: 500 lbs. / 227 kg
Mastender System “The answer to the trailer-sailor’s lament: “I love sailing, but I hate setting up…” Mastendr Explained: The Mastendr™ quick-rig sailing system that allows for the boom, sail, and gaff to be left installed on the boat while the mast is folded or raised. The shrouds stay attached and the head stay disconnects with the flip of the pre-adjusted forestay self-locking lever. This system, unique to Com-Pac, adds an ease and convenience to trailer sailing that is really astounding. Your mast is up and you are ready to go in seconds, not minutes.
What’s Included: Sailboat, w/all factory standard sails, lines, hardware, bimini top, Magic Tilt single axle trailer, 2HP Honda 4-Stroke Outboard, Sail cover, Full boat cover. This boat is ready for the water. The outboard has been serviced and the trailer bearings have been inspected/ re-grease packed and the wheels & tires are new. Additional pictures available on request Condition: Very Good Condition Location: Dunedin, Florida Price: $7,499.00

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)
Stainless Steel Centerboard.
