Com-Pac Sunday Cat
The Com-Pac Sunday Cat is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Clark Mills, who had previously designed the Optimist.[1][2] The Sunday Cat is a development of the Com-Pac Sun Cat. The Sun Cat comes in both cabin and open day sailer models. The Sunday Cat retains the large cockpit of the day sailer, but employs a small cuddy cabin that can accommodate a portable head.[1][3] ProductionThe design has been built by Com-Pac Yachts in the United States starting in about 2008 and remained in production in 2019.[2] Design  The Sunday Cat is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a cat rig with a single gaff-rigged sail, a plumb stem, a nearly vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wooden tiller and a stub keel, with a retractable stainless steel 80 lb (36 kg) centerboard. It displaces 1,500 lb (680 kg) and carries 300 lb (136 kg) of fixed ballast.[3] The boat has a draft of 4.5 ft (1.4 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.17 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[3] The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The cuddy cabin has two small portlights.[1] The mast, boom and gaff are designed for quick raising and lowering, while on the trailer or while afloat. All spars remain attached and lower onto a transom-mounted boom gallows. The mast has a steel hinge, secured by a pin.[1] See alsoSimilar sailboats
