although we didn't take the Compac to Pirate Jam, they were well represented with 2-27s, a 19, and a picnic cat. there was a neat little steam powered boat with a functioning black powder cannon on it's bow. that little canon was quite loud. our friends wore pirate costumes as did a lot of the spectators.

That sounds great, thanks Bryan.

If a suitable weather window opens, I'd like to sail to the Dry Tortugas.

Horizon Cats and Horizon Day Cats / Horizon prop

Last post by alsantini - August 31, 2025, 11:57:40 AM

Has anyone replaced the stock prop on the Horizon diesel (Yanmar 2 cyl)?  I have a vibration that I believe is prop oriented.  The cost of balancing is ridiculous.  Thanks Sail On,  Al

Hi Carl,

When you get to Cape Coral come up to Punta Gorda and I'll give you a ride on my Corsair 24 Trimaran.  Sailing at 15 kts is addictive.

Today is Pirate Jam. A live 3 band concert one can only enjoy from the water. Last year we listened from our 19. This year we have friends with us so we're taking the  Orion. Anything that floats can be found. Pontoon boats disguised as floating tiki huts, large motor vessels, sailboats that can clear the 45' bridge, dinghies, kayaks, paddle boards, and some people just swim up and stand in the shallows. It's a free event that started during covid . Some individuals dress like pirates and move about the anchored vessels demanding booty or a boarding will take place. Last year I handed over pbr and they vowed never to ask again.

Com-Pac FAQ's / Picture Or Instructions Of Mas...

Last post by Panhandle Steve - August 30, 2025, 08:41:59 AM

I recently purchased a 2005 Compac Horizon without a "gin" pole. I subsequently bought a gin pole from the factory but haven't been able to find gin pole installation instructions, a photo or Youtube video. I've seen the company video showing someone raising the mast but can't discern the installation detail from the video. Does anyone have instructions or a photo they could send or post? I would greatly appreciate any help.

I have been busy with charters on Lake Murray all summer. I was able to finally start refinishing the exterior teak on our Suncat (still have yet to name her).  Now that the charter season has slowed down a bit, we are headed to Dreher Island State Park for two weeks with camper and boat in tow.  I'll let you know how the sailing goes.
