Life Jackets
Great boat for sailing the small or big water, very seaworthy design (similar to lifeboat) It can sail in worse conditions than most people would try, yet sail right up to the beach.
It is a modern version of the New England Catboats used by commercial fisherman on the Atlantic coast.
READY TO SAIL
Clark Mills, designer of many of the Com-pac sailboat models had these boats built before selling the molds to Com-pac. His version has two weighted bilge boards rather than the center keel- makes for a faster better sailing boat.
