The Com-Pac 19 is an American trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Robert K. Johnson and first built in 1979.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
The boat was built by Com-Pac Yachts in the United States, from 1979 to 2002, but it is now out of production.[1] [3] [7]
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 20000NaN0 and carries 8000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2] [7]
The boat has a draft of 2feet with the standard keel fitted. The design is normally fitted with a small 3to 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 46inches. 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 5.412NaN2.[2] [4] [7]
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]
