Hi Folks,
Just to introduce myself, my wife and I live in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. Over the past year or so we have found ourselves interested in sailing and now it seems our lives have taken on a new course. Our goal is to be on the water and learning to sail this coming spring. So we're trading in the Subaru "sigh" for something that will trailer our new-to-us boat and we will be taking lessons as soon as the weather permits.
After doing all the research...and research...and research we narrowed the list of boats down to the one that we felt would fit our needs perfectly. Then we changed our minds ....at least 2 more times. Finally we have made the decision that our first boat just has to be the Com-Pac Eclipse. Over the past few months we have scoured all the online listings, contacted local dealers and found several in our area but they were soon sold before we could make a commitment.
So the ad is:
Warm and loving couple seeking to give a good home to a previously owned Com-Pac Eclipse (2004 to 2010). No pets (none that will be allowed on her at least) but 3 well mannered ...grandkids that will love to share the experience of sailing with her and their Nana & Papa.
We are looking for a seller in the North East but will consider anything east of the Mississippi.
We would appreciate any suggestions. If someone is looking to sell or knows of one for sale you can contact us at
eagleye at mhcable dot com
or call 518-966-8782.
This is a great site and we have learned a lot from reading the posts already.
Thank You,
Allen & Suzan
Guys,
It might be worth a call to Fernalds Marine in Newbury, Mass. When I was there several weeks ago there was an Eclipse under cover 'out back' that on of the owners said might be for sale. Apparently the lady owner hasn't used it in a couple of years. I think the guy you want to talk to is Josh but I might have that wrong.
They have a few NOS boats in storage there, too. They're just not too active in trying to sell them so it may be an opportunity.

Good luck!
Thanks Nick....
I'll give them a call in the morning.
I looked at their website and it doesn't offer to much info.
Thanks!!!
Allen
