I’m giving away my 1991 ComPac 19/2 trailer-sailer, Minnie. That’s her at the top of the Salty John website and the blog.
She is 20’ LOA, 19’ LOD, 7’ beam, 2’ draught. GRP with alloy spars. Built by Hutchins Company in Florida.
She has been temporarily modified for use on the Lancaster canal, where she currently resides. I took off her rig and sailing gear such as winches, blocks, organisers and two of the stanchions – these are safely stored in my garage. The bolt holes for all this stuff are filled with a soft compound that is easily drilled out. It took me two days to do this work; it might take three or four to get it all back in place.
There is no motor and no trailer included. She has a shoal draught (2’) long keel and weighs 2000 lbs.
Her condition is good, her original build quality well above average. She has a brand new main chewed on by field mice – if you want to use it, it needs repair work. There’s also a very old jib.
All this is yours if you can haul it away on a suitable trailer – the marina has a slipway.
What you have to do: Express serious interest by pm or email – you’ll go on the list. I’ll send details including pictures. You confirm you want her and arrange with me to collect her. I’ll give you a bill of sale to confirm she’s yours. Decline and she goes to the next person on the list.
Please do not ask “what’s the catch?” That would be an assault on my integrity. She is not derelict, we use her frequently. Please don’t reply if you want to kick her wheels first – I’m giving her away to avoid having to sell her, with all that that entails.
If you can’t possibly find the trailer/driver/time or money for such a project /etc - please don’t reply. Dreaming is nice, but you’ll be holding up the queue.
No, YM/PBO can’t have her to wreck her for the benefit of their readers!
If this fails, she’s going on eBay!
