COM-PAC 27/2

About the COM-PAC 27/2

The 27/2 has the same hull as the original 27. Reported sail area is up from 328 ft² to 380 ft². The current model, 27/3 (first built circa 2010) is the same as the 27/2 except with stainless steel hardware and portholes.

The Com-Pac 27/2 is a compact, robust trailerable sloop designed by Robert K. Johnson and built by Com-Pac Yachts (USA) in 1988. With a hull count listed as ?, this model represents a specific iteration in the Com-Pac line, characterized by its 29.58 ft LOA and 6000.0 lb displacement.

Best for:

This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruising and trailerable sailing, appealing to owners who prioritize ease of transport and low-maintenance systems. The prevalence of Furlex furlers and North sails suggests a focus on simplified single-handed or short-handed operation.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 2.09 and a displacement of 6000.0 lb, the 27/2 is designed for coastal and protected waters rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and 3.5 ft max draft further indicate a design optimized for shallow-water access and trailerability over offshore endurance.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include other Com-Pac models like the 22 and 30, as well as trailerable sloops from the late 1980s such as the O'Day 23 or Catalina 22. These boats share similar roles in coastal cruising and trailerability, though the 27/2 offers a slightly larger footprint with its 9.5 ft beam.
