I crossed paths with the gentleman who hosts this website and YT channel when he had initially inquired about my Com-Pac Legacy for sale. He decided to go with a Picnic Cat and he's having a great time! I found his new YouTube channel with lots of videos of his Picnic Cat, Bluebell, and also his accompanying website. Thought I'd share links here on the forum as I know folks are always hungry for info from fellow Com-Pac sailors/owners.

Thank you, Chelle! I appreciate the shout-out. I love the Picnic Cat. It's the perfect boat for me and the types of adventures I'm looking to do right now.

After sailing Bluebell for the first time in Apalachicola Bay over the holidays (she did a fantastic job; you can see those vids on my YT channel), she's now in the shop in preparation for the Florida 120. She'll be getting new standing and running rigging, an outhaul, new hardware, and a few minor repairs.

There weren't a lot of videos of Picnic Cats on YouTube when I was shopping. (I found maybe a half-dozen short vids, at best.) I hope to change that by showcasing the boat and demonstrating what she's capable of. Perhaps it will help future buyers and/or just entertain those who would like to see more of this great little boat.

I'm excited to be part of the Com-Pac community, and I look forward to sharing my experiences and adventures.

Thanks again.
