Com-Pac 35 sailor

[ChuckR]

Hi,
I bought my Com-Pac brand spanking new from Hutchins in 2003 and sailed it down to the VI's where it will moored for ever.
Anyone interested in my semi-custom design experience with Hutchins is welcome to ask questions.
I have sailed it now for almost 20 months off shore up and down the Caribbean and have several obvervations to share.

Chuck:  just saw your post from earlier this year about your experiences with the 35.  We own a 27/2 and are thinking of moving up to a 35, possibly as part-time live aboard.

I'm familiar with the stock 35.  Can you tell me what extra equipment you may have purchased, and what you could have done without or that you wish you had purchased?  If things go as planned we'll be homeported in South Carolina, and will be sailing to, e.g, Bahamas, Caribbean, and up coast and down.

Any advice you can give or eccentricities you've noticed would be appreciated.
