I have put together a website for Com-pac Eclipse owners. It can be found at: http://www.ramiller.org
This site is intended to allow Eclipse owners to get to know each other by posting photos and information about our boats. If there is enough interest I will put up a bulletin board so that we can exchange information, antecdotes, and advice.
Try the site. I hope you like it!

Nice website. If I had the money for a new boat I would seriously look at the Eclipse. I've been very happy with my 16, but it is a bit cramped when doing more than overnighting with two. I've often described it as "a pup tent with a keel." The Eclipse looks like it has a lot more elbow and hip room. How do you like the open transom?

Craig, I am going to take delivery this weekend of my Eclipse and will be sailing it very soon. I will be letting you know what I think of the open transom. I owned a Santan 23 with an open transom and raced it offshore and in the Bays from Houston down to South Padre Island and never had a problem.
The open transom gives a nice illusion of speed, and of course makes boarding easier from the water. Two people can sleep comfortably on-board.
