Trailerable daysailer or quick overnighter sailboat in very good condition: This desirable catboat with bimini is the perfect size for a day of fun sailing with your family. It has a roomy cockpit for 4-5 people and comfortably sleeps 2 in the cabin equipped with cushions, 2 opening port windows and a porta potty. Trailering is convenient and set up is easy with the Mastendr folding mast system. Just pop up the attached mast and in minutes you’re ready to launch and raise the sail. This boat sails with ease in light winds or choppy seas and is manageable for one person to sail. The shape of the hull with its wide 7 ft. 3 in. beam makes this sailboat very stable. The 14” draft with centerboard up or 54” draft with centerboard down allows for sailing in shallow water or close to shore. The boat features a 2020 Tohatsu Sail-Pro 6 HP long shaft 4-stroke outboard motor with less than 8 hrs. and comes with an EZ Loader galvanized trailer, also in very good condition. 

GENERAL  INFO :

The 17′ Sun Cat was designed by Clark Mills as a shoal-draft daysailer and overnighter that would rig quickly, sail easily, and comfortably accommodate family and friends with plenty of space for gear and stores.

The Com-Pac Sun Cat

A New Breed of Cat Boat

Clark Mills wanted to design a shoal daysailer that would rig and sail easily, quickly, and comfortably — as well as accommodate his family and friends. The Sun Cat was designed as an easily driven, roomy day boat and overnighter with a shoal draft to gunk hole along coasts and in harbors not accessible to more burdensome yachts.

Outfitted with the Mastendr™ quick rig sailing system and stainless steel centerboard with fiberglass trunk, the Sun Cat will provide convenient trailering and maintenance-free enjoyment.

Individuals who appreciate timeless design and quality fabrication, who wish to explore coastal waters and quiet creeks, and who demand value from a yacht, will warmly relate to the “new tradition” that the Sun Cat brings.

Design[edit]

The manufacturer describes the design’s goals as easy to rig, sail and transport on a trailer for use as a daysailer and overnight cruiser in shoal waters and coves.^[5]

The Com-Pac Sun Cat is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a gaff rigged catboat, with a plumb stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung ruddercontrolled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a stainless steel centerboard. It displaces 1,500 lb and carries 200 lb  of ballast.^[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft  with the centerboard extended and 1.16 ft  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water and ground transportation on a trailer. The design is equipped with a transom-mounted boom gallows on which the mast, boom and gaff may be stowed during ground transport.^[1][3][5]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp  outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, mounted on a bracket on the port side of the transom.^[1][3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with two straight settees in the main cabin. Cabin headroom is 38 in. There is an anchor locker on the bow.^[1][3]

The boat has a hull speed of 5.2 kn.
