Designed by Bob Johnson and first launched in 1979, this compact cruiser from Com-Pac Yachts became a beloved choice for sailors seeking quality construction in a trailerable package. With its fiberglass hull stretching 19 feet overall and a modest 7-foot beam, the Com Pac 19 strikes an appealing balance between seaworthiness and practicality. The masthead sloop rig carries 145 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power while remaining manageable for small crews. Its fin keel design with transom-hung rudder offers responsive handling, while the 2,000-pound displacement includes 800 pounds of ballast for stability. The boat's comfort ratio of 13.5 suggests it prioritizes motion comfort over pure speed, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and day sailing rather than racing. Built during Com-Pac's heyday, this model earned a reputation for solid construction and thoughtful interior layouts that maximize the compact space. The design excels in protected waters and nearshore coastal sailing, where its 5.41-knot hull speed provides pleasant progress without rushing. For sailors seeking a reliable, well-built pocket cruiser that can be trailered to new sailing grounds, the Com Pac 19 represents classic small-boat cruising done right.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
