COM-PAC 35 SAILBOAT: Beautiful Condition--Great Performer
Lying in Annapolis, Maryland is our beautiful ComPac-35 cruiser, COLTON.  It has been carefully cared for all of its life and has provided us with many, many memorable times for us, covering the Chesapeake Bay and 37 of its rivers and estuaries.  With her 4-foot draft, the ComPac-35 the ideal yacht for sailing shallow cruising grounds like the Chesapeake Bay, the Albemarle Sound and the Pamlico Sound.
She was designed by renown marine architect Charley Morgan (see his designer's comments among the photos) and built to the highest quality standards of the Hutchins family in Clearwater, FL with robust and enduring properties such as bead core instead of balsa and molded in non-skid on the deck instead of simply being 'applied'.  The ComPac-35 features a Euro transom and a patented Scheel keel giving her unbelievable performance for her 4-foot shoal draft.  She is swift and responsive.  She does well in light winds and picks up quickly in a puff!
The ComPac-35 is 36 feet, 9 inches LOA with an 11 foot, 10-inch beam, has a 29-foot LWL and a displacement of 12,500 pounds with a fixed keel ballast of cement and shot loaded into the molded hull.  This is Hull 001 and was built with special attention since it was to be shown first at the Newport (RI) Boat Show and then the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis.  Her interior is rich with teak and provides a warm, restful place to relax, sip wine and enjoy dinner.  Five Italian made gold-plated Cantalupi (TM) cabin lights  add to the class and warmth of the saloon.  The cabin height is a remarkable 6-foot 8-inches and laid out in a logical, functional design.  The interior of the cabin has an attractive bead board style overhead (ceiling) and beautiful teak and rosewood soleplates.  All of the joinery is of the highest quality and in particular, a cabinet mounted on the forward bulkhead that opens to a table and storage for wine bottles, glasses and dinnerware is especially impressive.  Nautical themed plates and glasses along with tableware will convey with the yacht.
The main saloon has a large seating area to port that converts to a sleep space for two, and has two comfortable seats to starboard along with a navigation station equipped with a full suite of B&G Network instruments repeating readings from the helm for speed, wind and depth; a second B&G VHF; and a B&G GPS.  The navigation station has a large desk that easily accommodates watch keeping and chart plotting.  It opens to store navigation and charting instruments and on the side has spaces to hold navigation charts.  In addition, the desk has two large, deep drawers for storage of winch handles, jack lines and other essentials that might need to be quickly brought up to the cockpit, The galley features a double sink, a microwave, a two-burner alcohol stove with an oven and plenty of storage space for pots, pans, cooking utensils and food stores.
Up forward is the Captain's quarters, a cabin with a 84-inch wide V-berth.  That cabin features more teak joinery with a three-drawer dresser to port and a hanging closet to starboard.  Again, the ability to stand in the forward cabin makes dressing very easy.  The space is also equipped with a fire extinguisher that allows crew to exit with firefighting capability in hand.
Behind the galley is a private quarter berth cabin that is deep and (nominally) sleeps two.  It features a hanging closet with storage space beneath the hanging clothes.  Again, one can comfortably stand up to dress or undress, something not normally enjoyed on boats this size.  Beneath the berth are three very large storage spaces for storing scuba gear, boat equipment and spare lines.
To starboard from the galley is the head that is roomy and accommodating when using the vanity, the shower and the toilet.  It has a teak grating to allow feet to remain dry even after the shower has been used.  The vanity has fold open doors for spacious storage of First Aid gear and other toiletries and supplies.  The vanity also has a 'wet gear' well for wet bathing suits, wet clothes and storm gear to be temporarily stored.  Again, the ability to stand in the head makes washing, shaving, showering and use of the head very easy and comfortable.
The cockpit seats seven comfortably and features a Edson helm with a Richie compass and a destroyer wheel for steering the spade rudder.  The instrument pod has independent B&G Network instruments for speed, wind and depth; it also houses a B&G VHF radio that makes communications quick and easy.
A Portside lazaret offers storage for safety gear and emergency spares.  A hatch on the starboard side gives access to the engine room.  There, below deck is the 27 horsepower Universal 30B-Three diesel engine (with just over 900 hours on it) with a dripless shaft packing, the 30 gallon fuel tank and a six gallon water heater.  It also affords storage for dock lines, mops, hooks, pails and shore power cords and accessories.
The cockpit is protected by a large dodger and covered with a large bimini with an overhead "sail window".  It also is equipped with sun shades for three sides; that canvas is just 6 years old and is in excellent shape.  Beneath the helm seat are a fire extinguisher, a distress signal flag and emergency flares. The cockpit is also equipped with a shower head making it convenient for an outdoor shower as an alternative to using the shower in the head below.  There is also a individual AM-FM-Cassette unit in the cockpit that will be swapped out with a replacement unit that will convey with the vessel.  Beyond the cockpit is the Euro-transom with a swim ladder and another shower head in a compartment to make rinsing off before boarding convenient.
The Doyle main sail and 135% Genoa are both six years old.  The main has a Jiffy-Reef System that has two heavy weather settings and a Dutchman system that automatically flakes the main as it drops.  The sail cover was replaced with the other canvas 6 years ago.  Deck equipment and upgrades include a windlass and a 35-pound Lawrence stainless steel plow anchor with 300 feet of rode.  A small assortment of dock lines and a full power cord package with a full assortment of adaptors and connections is included.  The boat also conveys with a winter cover made of Sunbrella that has protected the deck magnificently over the entire life of the yacht.
The 2008 dealer price list shown in Photo #23 shows the list price for the ComPac-35 13 years ago was 9,985.00 including options of stainless steel strike and rubstrake, the Dutchman system, sail cover, bimini and dodger.  While this model ComPac is no longer in full production, its reputation is still strong and the yacht is still highly sought after.  Its smaller sister, the ComPac-27 now sells for 7,995.00.  So why not enjoy the luxury of a 10-foot longer, 2 foot 3 inch wider beam and a large galley, head and quarter berth on a well-maintained ComPac-35 with all the sailing gear you need, ready to go for the Fall sailing season?
