Com-Pac 19 Mk 2

The Com-Pac 19 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed long keel. It displaces 2,000 lb (907 kg) and carries 800 lb (363 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [7]

The boat has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with the standard keel fitted. The design is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. There is a cockpit storage compartment for the outboard's fuel tank. [1] [3] [6]

Accommodations include berths for four people and an optional head located at the bottom of the companionway and a galley located in the notch at the base of the V-berth. Cabin headroom is 46 in (120 cm). Optional equipment includes jibsheet and halyard winches, tracks for the genoa and a pulpit. [6] [7]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 285 and a hull speed of 5.41 kn (10.02 km/h). [2] [4] [7]

Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "this design, originally drawn by Island Packet builder/designer Bob Johnson, was gradually changed over her more than 20-year life, but the basics remained the same. Like her little sister, the Com-Pac 16, she was designed to provide easy handling for novice sailors. Best features: Very simple rig and fittings, suitable for first-time sailors. Deep cockpit gives feeling of security. Worst features: The long keel tends to keep her sailing straight ahead, a plus when cruising in gusty weather but a minus when you want to make a quick turn. New price was a bit above most of her comp[etitors]s, and her Space Index is lowest. The keel is not deep enough for efficient upwind sailing, All comp[etitors]s have only sitting headroom, but the Com-Pac has the least of the bunch. A portable galley was available as an option ... though in the latest model the galley was moved forward and enlarged to include sink (with a small water supply) and ice chest. Otherwise, there's not much below." [7]
