CPYOA Forum (not boat) Help / Re: attaching photos

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that with a .jpeg on this site. I've just dropped the "e" in the file name and it worked. No reformatting required, everyone else thinks they're the same. Bizarre.

Heavy rain this morning so I watched the video. Very well put together and informative. They trailered from D.C. and it wasnt their 1st time. Nice. Some of the areas look like the North Channel.

Weird. If you look under the above picture, you'll see it is jpeg.

The problem is once I drag an image to the attach bar it rejects it as a format not recognized. jpeg is the format recognized by almost every website and the default format for exporting an image from my photo library. This has been a problem with this forum for several years, at least for me, since the migration to the Simple Machines site. Will try to reconfigure the format exports.

Eclipse / Re: Any Eclipse's for sale

Last post by alsantini - March 17, 2025, 09:35:55 AM

Found one!  Bob joined the Eclipse group by buying the cleanest Eclipse I have ever seen.  Looked like it just came off the showroom floor and it is a 2004 #5.  Deck was pristine, gelcoat perfect - amazing.  Even the teak had 8 coats of cetol on it.  I found the boat on Facegroup, called Bob and he made initial contact but was told boat was sold.  Turned out with some difficulties the guy bowed out and they called Bob.  We went on Friday down to Punta Gorda Florida about 30 miles away from here and Bob bought it!  Welcome him, as I know you will.  My 2007 will be on the market in April.  I have to get home and un-shrink wrap her, put the sails back on, cushions in, etc.  The Com Pac Horizon has worked out really well so at least I am still in the Com Pac family.  Sail On, Al

Here is a phenomenal documentary about sailing the Apostle Islands with a trailerable sailboat -- in this case, it's a Siren 17 - the folks who put this doc together did an absolutely stellar job -- wait until you see the adventures they have! Amazing stuff!!!

Sounds good, Carl! Thanks so much for letting me know! There was previously some interest from a handful of other folks, too, but I haven't heard/seen anyone else chime in to date.

As for us: We are still planning our summer schedule as of this writing, but for now, our first trip to Lake Superior will be in early June for our "shakedown cruise" with Jerome Rand of Sailing Into Oblivion. We are spending three days with him coaching us to go over all of our Com-Pac 25's new-to-us systems and do an overnight or two out on the lake.

I'm not sure when CLR is, but I'll check out the thread on that to see what's shaking. Maybe we could trailer our Com-Pac 23 or Com-Pac Legacy to join in the fun with that!

We are planning to go up to Lake Superior 1-2x per month this spring, summer, and fall, so hopefully, a Apostle Island/Lake Superior meet-up will work out -- fingers crossed!

CP-16's / Re: Securing an anchor

Adding to Mas' comment, my '86 16 had a bowsprit. It is the perfect place to hang the anchor.
