Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Compass 750 is a 24.83 ft fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Compass Yachts Ltd. (AU) between 1977 and 1981. With a displacement of 3200.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 14.07, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented coastal cruiser from the late 1970s Australian market.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize ease of handling and speed over heavy offshore protection. Its fractional sloop rig and relatively low displacement make it accessible for single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, responsive package.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 2.22 and a displacement of 3200.0 lb, the Compass 750 is primarily a coastal cruiser with limited bluewater capability due to its light displacement and fin keel configuration.
Comparables:
Comparable vessels include other 24-26 ft Australian fractional sloops from the late 1970s, such as the O'Day 23 or early Catalina 22s, which share similar fractional rigs and coastal cruising roles. These boats offer similar beam-to-length ratios and fractional rig configurations that prioritize upwind performance.
