Com-Pac Horizon Cat
The Com-Pac Horizon Cat, also called the Horizon Cat 20, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Halsey Herreshoff as cruiser and first built in 2002.
The boat is a development of Halsey Herreshoff's 1971 Herreshoff America, for which Com-Pac Yachts acquired the tooling in 2002.
The Horizon Cat design was developed into the Com-Pac Horizon Day Cat daysailer in 2003.
The Horizon Cat has been built by Com-Pac Yachts in the United States since 2002 and remains in production.
The manufacturer describes the design goals as "a classic boat for the diehard traditional sailor".
The Com-Pac Horizon Cat is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It is a gaff-rigged catboat; with a plumb stem; a plumb transom; a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) and carries 600 lb (272 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.16 ft (0.66 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. A Yanmar diesel engine of 6.4 hp (5 kW) is optional.
