The ComPac Picnic Cat is a quintessential example of the "pocket sailer" philosophy, designed by the legendary Clark Mills to maximize simplicity and onwater enjoyment. Measuring 14 feet in length with an unusually generous 7foot beam, this gaffrigged daysailer is engineered for sailors who prioritize a rapid transition from trailer to water. Its defining feature is the MastEnd 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 lowmaintenance fiberglass construction, making it a staple for coastal exploration and "picnic" voyaging in shallow estuaries.
