27' Com-Pac 27/2 Sloop

Com Pac Yachts, part of the Hutchins Company, a family owned-and-operated corporation founded in 1957 by W.L. Hutchins Sr. They began building sailboats in 1970 and continue to this day in Clearwater, Florida.

Traditional styling, solid construction and a timeless design all combine to make the Com Pac 27/2 the perfect extended cruiser. Her shoal draft keel makes her an ideal choice for gunkholing the shallows of the Chesapeake Bay. Originally designed by Bob Jonson, founder and lead designer of Island Packet, the Com Pac 27 was first introduced in 1986 and still remains in production to this day.

Below decks, you’ll be amazed at the abundance of interior space. Remarkable head room and a well designed layout make this 27-footer feel much larger than she is. She’s designed to sleep six with opposing settees in the salon that convert to double bunk berths port and starboard while the roomy v-berth provides private sleeping quarters for two. A fully enclosed head compartment is amidships to starboard opposite the fully equipped galley to port at the base of the companionway. Com Pac’s use of woods throughout, including the teak and holly soles and solid headliner give her an elegant look. With her eight opening brass ports, two deck vents and two large opening hatches, ventilation is a…breeze!

Topsides the Com Pac 27/2 is easy to move about. Her uncluttered wide side decks, lifelines and full length teak hand-holds make her safe to get to and work the foredeck under any conditions. With her roller-furling genoa, all handling lines leading aft and wheel steering, she’s a cinch to single-hand. Whether you’re new to sailing or a seasoned expert, you’ll surely appreciate her agility and stability whether in a strong blow or a gentle bay breeze. However, a speed demon she is not…you won’t win races with the Com Pac 27/2. Since her outboard rigging shrouds and genoa track will not allow for close sheeting angles, her windward performance will not be the greatest. Then again, she wasn’t designed to win races…she was designed for comfortable, safe handling and cruising…which she does beautifully.

Her current owner has enjoyed this Com Pac 27/2 for many, many seasons on the fresh waters of the upper Chesapeake Bay and hasn't missed a year yet…until now. Physical limitations, due to age, have created this wonderful opportunity for her next Skipper. She’s is seriously for sale (which is reflected by the price). The bottom has been freshly painted, her hull sides, top sides and interior have been cleaned for the season and she’s ready to be launched so she can continue her voyages with her new Captain at the helm...Will it be you?

There are only three other Com Pac 27’s available (at the time of this listing), as seen on Yacht World. Two are much older while the third, more comparable one is priced much higher. This is an excellent opportunity, for an excellent sailing vessel with a legacy that still continues today. Don’t let this one pass you by!
