The Com-Pac Picnic Cat is a quintessential example of the "pocket sailer" philosophy, designed by the legendary Clark Mills to maximize simplicity and on-water enjoyment. Measuring 14 feet in length with an unusually generous 7-foot beam, this gaff-rigged daysailer is engineered for sailors who prioritize a rapid transition from trailer to water. Its defining feature is the Mast-End Mast system, which allows the rig to be raised or lowered in seconds without the complexity of stays or shrouds. As a modern interpretation of the traditional Cape Cod catboat, the Picnic Cat balances a nostalgic aesthetic with low-maintenance fiberglass construction, making it a staple for coastal exploration and "picnic" voyaging in shallow estuaries.
