About the COM-PAC ECLIPSE
Rig dimensions verified by builder. Thanks to Judy Blumhorst from Hyde Sails.
The Com-Pac Eclipse is a compact, high-performance fractional sloop designed by Hutchins and built by Hutchins Co. in the USA, with production records indicating a build year of 2004. With a displacement of 2200.0 lb and a LOA of 21.33 ft, this vessel represents a specialized niche of lightweight, responsive cruising yachts.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize agility and ease of single-handed handling over heavy offshore endurance. Its light displacement and fractional rig make it ideal for those seeking a responsive, performance-oriented experience in protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2200.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.26, the Eclipse is not designed for serious bluewater passagemaking but is capable of short offshore trips in favorable conditions due to its stable hull form.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other lightweight 20-foot fractional sloops from the early 2000s, such as the O'Day 232 or Catalina 22, though the Eclipse distinguishes itself with a more modern hull form and higher sail area-to-displacement ratio (18.96). It also shares DNA with other Hutchins designs like the Com-Pac 25, offering similar build quality but in a smaller footprint.
