Thank you! Welcome and thanks for watching!

It is not bad at all A little tight on foot space but ok I am just over 6’ tall and I have sitting head room although it is close Thanks for watching

@@theboatnik1328 I had a West Wight Potter 15 and I really liked it, but the centerboard trunk really limited the leg space in the cabin. I recently got a Com Pac 16 and I like the cabin space more. Thanks for another great video!

I like the CP16 too One of my favorites

Not yet I am working on a few things on it this week and hoping to take it camp sailing in a couple of weeks

@@theboatnik1328 Cool ... I hope you film it, I'd like to know how that handles in comparison to the Compac 16.

I am planning on filming some for sure

I like it although I didn’t name it

Thanks!

I was thinking about possibly going that route I have taken it sailing once now and the fiberglass rudder I used worked well

That’s my plan Thanks for watching!

From the factory, it was bedded and anchored with screws These screws did not penetrate through to the cabin interior I personally prefer to through bolt with small diameter bolts Since yours has screws penetrating, you might want to replace them with bolts Just be sure to bed them good to prevent leaks as this area has a plywood core

Ok...thanks! I'll probably put the bolts through....I agree and feel better about them.

Lol The cat left deep scratches A first for me

I have several people interested in it even though it is not listed for sale yet and the only pics I have posted is the current youtube video which does not show it cleaned up yet

It is pretty much waterproof as designed and built As long as fasteners, etc still are bedded good

I still have it It is back on it’s trailer because I needed my shop for another project that took precedence I will be working on it again in the spring I need to pull the cast iron centerboard on it to recondition it Thanks for watching!

@@theboatnik1328 ok. how do you like it? im looking at getting one

I really like the boat and they are good sailing boats Good for offshore as well Mine is a somewhat long term project for me as I have so many other projects It could be for sale The trailer is probably worth more than the boat

@@theboatnik1328 you say it could be for sale? how much would you do for just the boat?

@@NoahJohnson7452 I will sell the boat without the trailer for $1000 You could use the trailer to get it home and bring it back I have a main and jib sail in decent condition for it It wouldn’t take that long to get it sailing again if it was the only boat you were working on

Where do you live? What town?

@@theboatnik1328 I actually live in Henderson, about 2 hours North

Pretty much

@@theboatnik1328Does it need a home? I need a first boat to learn on…figure this would do me fine at my age..70’s. 🤩

@@gaybasehore5954 I have cleaned it up and have sailed it once although that day was very little wind Great little boat Still needs a little tlc to make it really nice It will be (is) for sale $4k as it is right now Completely sail worthy as it is now Great sails (like new) I can send you a few pics and videos if you provide an email or some other way I can’t add pics here unfortunately

@@theboatnik1328 I am interested in your M15. I sold mine a few years ago (#312) and haven't found another boat that sails as nicely. (I recently sold my Com-Pac 16 ... a solid sailboat, but didn't sail upwind as well).

@davidkanning3726 I have cleaned it up a bit and made a fiberglass composite rudder for it until I get time to repair the mahogany one I have taken it out sailing once It was almost no wind that day I will sell it as it is now for $4k I can send you a pic or two if you message me on my facebook page The boatnik

I don’t know about the legacy I’ve never owned one

What boat do you have?

That is a 3 hp 2 cycle Fairly light but more hp than needed. 2 hp is plenty Some people use electric trolling motor and battery but I prefer 2 cycle

@@theboatnik1328 Thanks for the reply! I've been looking for a 2 cycle but no luck so far. Everything is 4-cycle these days...

Fall is my favorite time to sail Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

I use hot glue gun to stick sticks together usually Repaint is probably best long term Just sand and prep good and use a good paint made for marine environment You can also cover with marine carpet/ fabric made for hull lining

Lol I get side tracked a lot Actually I am trying to decide whether or not to install an inboard diesel or not I have done this a couple of times before, but just not sure so I am dragging my feet on it I have an engine and most everything else needed, but the outboard is easy and all ready to go

Or maybe a new electric onboard engine.​@@theboatnik1328

Thanks

Nice boat! My goal is to splash my ‘88 tomorrow for the first time.

That’s great!

Thanks for the tip Good luck with your rebuild and thanks for watching!

Glad to have you as a subscriber! And thanks for the kind comments

Thanks for watching!

Normally would be using my air sander for this but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do Thanks for watching

My father always had a boat I love spending time with my grandsons Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks Hope to take it sailing soon

It only took a few minutes to apply It is best to not overwork Once it starts to kick you just have to stop Easy to sand out Thanks for watching

Thanks!

Been a while since I did that video You might want to check out a youtube channel called “fish bump tv” This guy builds and repairs boats professionally and has a lot of how to videos Also check out “Boatworks Today” Look back far enough in his videos and he covers how to build hatches I was a bit unconventional in my approach as you will see if you watch their channels I used west system epoxy resin with 1708 biaxial cloth, epoxy barrier coat additive as a tie coat so my gelcoat would bond Most people use polyester resins instead of epoxy Also I made a plywood plug and then made my glass part directly over it Most people make a plug, then make a mold from the plug, then make the final part inside the mold I just tried to save some steps since this was a one off project Thanks for watching!

The stainless bracket?

I like it too Not so many little air bubbles to have to fix like some brands But you can’t gelcoat directly to it Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching

They enjoy helping and hanging out

Thanks I used 3m 4200 on mast base I use butyl tape a lot on hardware as well as boat life life caulk and 4200 The life caulk seems to work well on teak too I rarely use 5200 but find it appropriate on the hull to deck joint Thanks for watching

Thanks, I will tell them

That might be fun to watch too!

Thanks It was fun Had the lake to myself

Thanks!

Much needed shade! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

On the rare occasion when I raise the mast on the water, I tie a line to the halyard and run it through my down haul turning block at the bow and pull it up with it and cleat it off Then go forward to connect forestay Thanks for watching and for your comments!

Thanks for subscribing! The CP 16 is a great little boat

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching and sharing!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks The local lake is temporarily closed due to high water and debris so not sure when I will get to sail it Hopefully soon Thanks for watching!
