Thanks for the welcomes! Murphey, its an '88. I've just bought it last weekend. I grew up sailing on Lake Erie in my childhood through early 20s and haven't been sailing much since. I have three children of my own now in elementary and middle school and thought it a good time to introduce them. This is by far the biggest boat I've ever sailed, everything up until now has been Sunfish or Hobie. After reading a lot about boats capable of fitting in my garage, safety, ease of sailing, etc I narrowed it down to the CP 16 and Montgomery 15 and started looking about a month ago. Found this CP 16-3 only an hour away and jumped on it. Been out sailing once already and although I'm a bit rusty, especially with rigging, it worked out well. Planning to go again next weekend and hopefully a couple more times before the weather turns too cold.
I was looking for online tutorials or pointers for rigging the CP-16 when I ran across this forum.
Glad to be here!
Hey Greg: Welcome aboard. That has got to be a trick picture or the best looking gel coat on any '86 ComPac that I have ever seen. I thought that it was new.
Smooth Sailing.
regards charlie
Thanks Charlie! I have to say the previous owner took really good care of the boat, added a ton of upgrades including lots of electrical (mast anchor light, USB chargers), new sails, rebuilt trailer, etc. It's always been in a garage when not being sailed.
