Seller's Description

From the Com-Pac Horizon Cat webpage (https://www.com-pacyachts.com/trailerable-catboats/horizon-cat.html):

“The Horizon Cat is a classic boat for the diehard traditional sailor a real Cape Cod cat with a shallow fin keel for added stability and windward performance.

A high-aspect kick-up rudder is incorporated for convenience and extremely light helm. Quick, nimble, and comfortable, the Horizon Cat has a large cockpit and extensive accommodations.

In addition, the exclusive Mastendr mast raising system revolutionizes the trailer-boating experience.”

This is a beautiful Horizon Cat Boat that has been very well loved and maintained. I purchased her a two years ago to help introduce my toddlers to sailing. It’s a super fun boat to sail in light winds and they love it. Now that they are hooked, I think it’s time to list her and find a larger sailboat.

She recently participated in the 2024 Catboat Regatta in Beaufort SC. She may not be blessed with speed, but she was fun. She is stored on the trailer under a mooring cover and needs nothing to set sail today.

Not in a super big hurry to sale her, but will entertain all reasonable offers.

LOA: 20 FT. 0 IN. LWL: 17 FT. 9 IN. BEAM: 8 FT. 4 IN. DISP: 2500 LB. BALLAST: 600 LB. SAIL AREA: 205 SQ. FT. DRAFT: 2 FT. 2 IN. (board up) and 5 FT. 0 IN. (board down) MAST HEIGHT above WL 23 FT. 4 IN. (sail down) 29 FT. 4 IN. (sail up)

Equipment: Yamaha 8 HP outboard with electric start. Galvanized Trailer included. New ladder fabricated (2022) and new carpet on bunks (2023). Sail cover. Extra mainsail. Extra bimini cover. Extra gin-pole. Porta-Potty with privacy curtain. 1 Burner Alcohol stove. Lazy-jacks. Single reef. Simrad chartplotter with depth. Electric bilge pump with auto/manual switch. Cleats forward, mid, and aft. Claw anchor with 125’ rode (25’ chain). Cockpit and cabin Cushions. Custom rudder by Rudder Craft.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Inboard diesel optional. Based on HORIZON CAT 20.
