Compac 23, 1980

  • Quite possibly the nicest 1980 Compac 23 out there! Delivery available.

    Over the past two years, I have put lots of time, effort, and money into restoring this boat. The interior was completely sanded and painted a nice gloss white, a beautiful solid bamboo floor was installed, and the bulkheads were replaced with gorgeous mahogany. A custom companion way stair was built that houses the electrical distribution panel and stereo as well as created lots of storage. The electrical system was completely overhauled by replacing all of the wiring with marine grade oversized duplex, adding a distribution panel with 8 circuit breakers, and adding two large Trojan batteries, a solar panel, and a charge controller. All of the running lights were replaced with two nautical mile LEDs and a steaming/deck light combo was added to the mast. The interior lights were also replaced with LEDs. A stereo sytem was added with two very nice Kicker speakers and a AM/FM/CD/MP3 head unit that has a Bluetooth feature that allows music to be played remotely through any Bluetooth device like a phone or MP3 player. That means you can have full control over your music from the cockpit! A handheld VHF is also included.

    The deck was completely separated from the hull to reseal the hull to deck joint. The windows were removed, refurbished, and resealed. Every piece of hardware was removed from the deck and resealed. All of the chainplates were replaced and resealed. The hatch boards were replaced with a very thick piece of smoked plexiglass which brings lots of light into the cabin.

    The boat has a brand new main sail as well as a 110 and a 150 head sails that are in good condition. All of the running rigging was replaced along with the anchor chain and rode. A tiller clutch was added, so this baby even sails by itself! The mast and standing rigging are all in great condition. I replaced the rudder with a foiled rudder which dramatically increased the performance of the boat.

    As you can see, this boat is ready to go sailing! I would consider trades for a smaller boat. Delivery could possibly be negotiated
