It's nice to see Com-pacs represented so frequently these days in SCA.  Their ruggedness, good looks and seaworthy designs are quiet appropriate for the publication.  I've noticed a bias towards Potters but not so much lately. Now that Josh has a CP16, we should expect more

Zimco-You should most certainly be proud of seeing your boat in print! How cool is that!!!

Also a nice CP16 from Washington is pictured as well. Anyone here?

Brackish--You are quoted in the article in addition to CurtisV.  Arion will be proud :)
Oh..here is the pic you cannot open..

HI SALTY19,

+THE COM-PAC BOATS ARE RARE IN PUGET SOUND.  I HAVE THE ONLY CP 23 IN THE PORT TOWNSEND BOAT HAVEN.  THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL
CP 19 RIGHT ACROSS FROM MY BOAT.  THOSE ARE THE ONLY COM-PAC BOATS I HAVE SEEN AROUND HERE. 

THAT IS NO DOUBT WHY PRUDENCE WAS PICKED FOR THE REVIEW.

GLAD TO HELP SMALL CRAFT ADVISOR, IT IS A GREAT BOATING MAGAZINE.

CP23 -- PRUDENCE

Despite over fifty years of sailing I have never heard of "SCA." Can someone decipher this for me?

I finally got a  copy and was able to read the review.  I thought it was a fairly balanced review.  One surprise was the quote about needing 2-3 people and 3-4 hours to either launch or retrieve and pack for towing.  Certainly it is not easy, but I can do it by myself in two hours or less.

Arion was thrilled.  Writer mistakenly listed her year as 2009 rather than 2005.:)
