LOOKING FOR A 16.

[Bob23]

Steve:
   I do admit that the 16's are tiny inside but I'm looking to daysail and trailer sail so I can explore different waters. I'll find one. Just like the 23, it one waits long enough, the boat finds us. Weird, huh- but most of us here know it's true.

Bob23,

Would you be interested in Sun Cat "Frisky"? She ain't cheap, but I'm toying with selling her.

While I like the Suncats, I'm looking for an el cheapo fixer upper. Why would you sell her?

[capt_nemo]

Bob23,

A complex combination of several factors, not the least of which is that I'm not using the boat as much as I think I should to justify keeping it in my stable.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to press on with my current build, an 11' Kayak. Have laid out most of the parts on ply and am ready to start cutting them out. Really like building boats!

  bob , i think you are right when you say boats find us. when i saw com-pac 16 listed in the paper under rvs for sale i called that minute and we enjoyed 7 years with her.  the catalina required a 500 mile one way trip to michigan. and after some familiarization, she has turned out to be a great fit for us. what is it about sail that causes us to name boats with female names and power boats are just things?

I've asked you if you wanted mine and you turned your nose up at it.
it's still available, let's say 750 for boat 5hp nissan and trailer.
(not inc. VHF, GPS or non-specific stuff like that).

[Bob23]

Gee. I'm sorry but I don't recall turning my nose up at your 16. Where are you located?

   hey bob if you take a trip west stop in illinois and pick up rich, jason, carl and me. talk about a road trip!

[crazycarl]

i'll second steve's advice!

aint nothin like a road trip with a bunch responsible adults.  and sailors to boot!

Steve, Carl:   The road trip is a great idea. One problem: who's gonna bail us out of jail? Sarah? Joanie? Ginger? My wife might just let me sit there for 6 months to teach me a lesson. But can you imagine the fun? It would be illegal for 5 guys to have that much fun...hence the half million dollar bail- each!

Hey Bob:

     Buy the boat sight unseen.  Lily and I are going out to Denver for Christmas, we'll trailer it back for you (for the paltry sum of, what, perhaps $10 per mile??).  What are friends for, right?

[Bob23]

Awww Brad: You would do that for me after all the grief I've given you? What a friend. There's the true Christmas spirit in action. Ten bucks for every 1000 miles- who could argue with that. Thanks!

$500, no sails

[jpfx]

I'm in columbia SC.
it's a good boat, the only problem was that layers of paint had been ladled on the hull which I decided to take off.
I got so far then ran out of steam/interest/enthusiasm. that leaves it down to the original gelcoat and looking unfinished.

it has an original (I think) yellow/white jib on a furler.
new-ish main, still crisp.
nissan 5hp 2005 I think, needs  servicing (at the very least an impeller)
bunks have rot but are still sturdy enough to support weight. previous owner mad two epoxied boards which go under the cushions. it works well.
some mast/boom fittings I have replaced. parts came from dwyer and are exact replacements.
trailer is probably for a nineteen. very sturdy full size wheels.

pics are here http://s11.photobucket.com/user/jpfx/library/compac16, warts and all. some of the pictures on water were taken the last trip out. after that, I started taking the paint came off.
I'll put it back together for collection.
please note for 750 you're getting the C-16 stuff, motor and trailer - not extras. it's worth far more.

open to anyone but I guess bob has first dibs.
pics of robroy 23 which I would also like to sell here http://s11.photobucket.com/user/jpfx/library/rr23
