About the COM-PAC 19

Designed by Bob Johnson and built by Com-Pac Yachts (USA), the Com-Pac 19 is a compact, trailerable sloop with a production run starting in 1979. With a displacement of 2000.0 lb and a beam of 7.0 ft, it offers a stable platform for small-boat enthusiasts, though the exact total hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruising, trailerable weekend getaways, and single-handers seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel with a max draft of 2.0 ft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.22 and a comfort ratio of 13.5, the Com-Pac 19 is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 19-foot trailerable sloops from the late 1970s and 1980s, such as the O'Day 19 or Catalina 19, due to similar LOA of 19.0 ft and trailerable design.
