All the additional detail, and much more information on Compacs, may be found at the Compac Yacht Owners Association website: Anchor roller, 11lb Bruce, and bow attachment of lifelines.

Will A Com-pac 16 fit in my garage?

Com-Pac’s have quite an owner following. Considering the Com-Pac 16’s were in production for 25 years, there are quite a few on the water. On their trailer, they easily fit in an average size garage. As a trailerable, your sailing grounds are endless.
