This is a great sailboat that fell on hard times. I see a gem.
Join me as I go through thIs 1982 Com-Pac 23 inch by inch and create my ideal pocket cruiser.
Simply Strong & Reliable.
Another great video.
Thanks Parker. It's been a lot of fun.
Looking like new. AND the Electric Man is doing all the electric work. God bless
You just wait. Big things happening in the next video. You won't be able to recognize her.
What a difference!
I'm gaining on it, thanks.
Love a good transformation video series. This is going to be fun to watch!
I'm happy to hear that you are going to stick around and see where this goes!
Thank you for the update on your progress! It is encouraging to me as well. I am in frozen northern Michigan, and completing what I can do during the cold winter months.
I appreciate you checking it out. I'm originally from northern Missouri and I remember spending most of my winter evenings in the garage with my first sailboat, a Flying Scot. Like you, doing whatever I could. I bought a new outboard motor today. Right now I'm starring at the marina water, ready to go sail this boat for the first time. But, a winter storm is rolling in so not today. Thanks Mr. Randy.
Looks great bro
Appreciate it Tony.
It's looking great! Good video as always 😉
Thanks Jason. I'll be sailing soon.
You have been busy- getting your ‘82 #HutchinsComPac23 overhauled. Looking forward to watching all of the progress for the “Manautical Siren”!
1982… What a great year indeed.
It was a great year, lol. Thanks Nicki!
🙂
Definitely a worthy transformation and looking good already. Think the old owner would be proud?? Yeah, for sure. Love a good project.👍🏻
Hello! The dirty work is almost over and tomorrow the boat gets hauled out and put on stands. I can't wait to see what's below the waterline. Let the hull painting begin! The name of the paint is Super Jet Black. Thanks for watching.
I think he played drums for Rush! ..Lol
Nope, never played any Rush. Too difficult. I stick to strumming easy four chord songs. Thanks for watching.
Mitch, maybe you cover this later but I was wondering if your 23 came with the head (mine looks to have a pump toilet). Did you remove/replace it? I don't see one in the v berth when you were painting.
Hey Paul, My boat only came with the empty spot to put a portapotty under the v-berth. I didn't want any thru hulls. I've had a boat with the full toilet system and I prefer the simplest method possible.
@@smallsailboatbigwater3959 Thanks for the reply! Since I already have the system and the thru hulls that go with it, I am going to keep and upgrade. I have issues that require me to have access if I am going to be out for more than a few hours that make other options problematic. Currently having issues finding upholsters to replace my cushions. None came with the boat so I have to have them all fabricated from scratch. Like you, I also need to replace all the rigging as I intend to do some proper sailing in this little girl. Luckily, I am a retired Coast Guard Bosun's Mate and I can work cables and splice double braid line. I am also adding some power options so I can have 110 available. As I go through your vids I am compiling a list of things to do and to buy. I have to thank you for doing this series, since you went through this in what is the same model and year vessel everything you detailed applies. Keep the wet side down brother!
Luckily the standing rigging has already been gone through. The running rigging is easier. I believe I once saw that Com-Pac Yachts had a complete set of cabin cushions on their CP23 parts list for $1,000. I looking forward to the 2023 season. I'm just getting started. Best wishes.
