I will have a new navy blue stack pack for a C250 for sale in the near future. I was busy building a new stack pack for my friend's C250 that is the same as mine. See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGnTIW_9l0&t=16s

I had a brain fart that I discovered at close to the last step in assembly. I built two port sides of the stack pack. Instead of ripping out all of the seams and reassembling in the proper orientation, I have decided to order enough material to build another stack pack. This time I will build two starboard sides. The resulting extra stack Pack will be for sale for $1,000. The stack pack is attached to the boom and mast via a bolt rope and aluminum bolt rope track that will need to be pop riveted to the boom and mast. The track will be included in the purchase. You will just need to purchase some PVC pipe for the supports and create lazy jacks. I anticipate this will be complete and ready to ship before the end of March.

UPDATE (3/19/2025): The Stack Pack is now nearly complete. I just have some pleating to do at the front. Here are some photos:

Full stack pack with both sides zipped together. There are external pouches for the PVC pipe to slide into. These have velcro flaps at the front to contain the PVC pipe. Near the outboard edges (bottom of cover) I have sewn in vent panels to allow airflow within the cover and for water to exit if any gets in.



Here is a close up view



This bolt rope is sewn into the bottom edges of the cover and slide into a track that is pop riveted on your boom and mast.



Included in your purchase is enough track (four foot sections), to attach the stack pack to your boom and mast.



These are straps that wrap around the PVC pipes and are attached to your lazy jacks (you do not need to buy an expensive lazy jack kit. I just bought a good 3/16" line and hung a bullet block from each spreader. Bowlines are tied as necessary to create the lazy jacks. These straps are different lengths to make it easy to know which lazy jack goes where when putting things together. When I de-rig to travel, I just leave the mainsail on the boom enclosed in the stack pack. I pull the pvc pipe to get the straps off and then put the pvc pipe back in place. Then the boom, sail and stack pack package all gets sent below.


This stack pack can be ready to ship to a new owner upon request. Again, the price is $1,000. I think this is a very fair price. $375 of materials and 22 hours of labor.

I am adding more pictures of the stack pack that I have for sale.

Here is the side view with it installed. I wanted a low profile stack pack. Most are rather tall and baggy. This does require a mast gate so the slides can be lowered as close to the boom as possible.

Mesh View. This is a different stack pack in a different color Sunbrella. I am using this photo because it shows the mesh panels better.

Price still remains at $1,000
