Hey Frank, I really like those ComPac Sun Cats.  Nice looking boats! It seems like they put a lot of thought into making them single-hander friendly too.

Now that you're pulling your northern fleet, I suppose it's time to head south and do some work on your "real" boat and post lots and lots of pics, hmmm?   :D

Nice pic, Frank! Those are neat little boats.

Question: Do you know about/have you joined the Com-Pac Owners website? (I am the admin there, for a bit yet, at least.) This is the link - CPYOA (http://www.com-pacowners.com/) - and the owners Forum is at CPYOA Forum (http://com-pacowners.com/forum/index.php).

Also, check this out, I just started it today for those fella's - an interactive map thingy from Google that should also serve as an Owners Registry. Put yourself in there. :) CPYOA Frappr! site (http://www.frappr.com/cpyoa)

I made one for A/C's - here:

Note: Once you put info in, it stays there - there is no edit function, except getting deleted, and re-entering info. Other than that, it's really neat. :)

Edit: it seems that you *can* change your info (I didn't try changing the name, just the comment I wrote in), click on the Add Yourself button.

Pete    Looks to me like a savvy racer simply trying to increase the waterline length !! Every lil bit (or BIG) counts !!

He's practicing the "speed tack": to reverse directions, bury the bow and let the stern swing around 180 degrees...
