1989 Compac 23-3 for sale in very good condition. This boat and trailer combination has been adapted for single-handed set-up, launching, sailing and haul-out….all can be done safely with no drama by one person, even if its windy. Overall, the boat is prepared for single-handed sailing in robust conditions.
There is a gin-pole and bridle included, with extra blocks and line. The mast is raised by pulling on a line led to a 4-part block and tackle system, which tilts the gin-pole forward (initially at 90deg to the deck). A line led from the top of the gin-pole to the top of the mast raises the mast. A bridle system steadies both the gin-pole and mast. The whole process can be stopped at any time; to allow checking for snagged shrouds, etc.
The trailer has a forward ladder, extra-high keel guides, and two vertical guide poles to facilitate single-handed launch/retrieval. (The trailer also has new brake assemblies, new master brake cylinder, new LED sealed lights, and all new wheel bearings. 2021)
Cockpit: Two Anderson #12 Self-tailing winches (2022). New auto-tiller mount, with Simrad TP-10 auto-tiller. Improved A-frame mainsheet system, with new ratcheting blocks and line, allows the boom to be pulled right up to and beyond the centerline when close-hauled. Two large cockpit lockers. Manual Guzzler bilge pump operated from cockpit, diaphragm and valves replaced 2022. Fresh-water shower hose comes out of one locker. (allows salt-water swim, FW rinse). Comes with older Tohatsu 2-stroke 8hp motor. (which recently took me about 200 miles out of 420 around the Delmarva Peninsula)
Interior: 6 heavy-duty oval bronze port-lights. Front hatch removed and re-bedded 2022. All cushions in very good condition. 15-gallon fresh-water bladder under V-berth forward…electric pump. Lots of storage under seats and V-berth forward. Slide-out single-burner butane stove. Kenmore stereo.
Equipment: Electrics/Electronics: New Garmin UHD 74SV 7 Chartplotter mounted with swing bracket in cockpit (2022). AIS (automated identification system) fed from Standard Horizon GX2150 VHF radio to chartplotter allows you to see commercial and some recreational traffic on the screen. Extra handheld VHF radio. Hummingbird depth sounder. Two 100ah batteries can be charged via shore-power (onboard charger) or 100W flexible solar panel (2022). The solar panel most days can keep up with electronic and auto-tiller needs. (I recently did a 12-day trip without charging from shore)
Sails: Mainsail was cleaned and 2nd deep reef point installed by SailCare (2022). 100% Jib, 155% Genoa. Light air asymmetrical spinnaker with Chute-Scoop sock. New stormsail (2022)
Hull/Rig: New heavy-duty chainplates (2021). Quick-release levers on forward shrouds and backstay to aid in set-up/take-down. Inner forestay of dyneema, rigged with soft-shackles and turnbuckle (for stormsail) Hull to deck joint was re-sealed 2021, with new rubber rub-rail. Various fittings and handrails have been removed and re-bedded (2022). The boat is very dry inside. Comes with 8 hard dinghy with oars
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)
