I sail solo 95% of the time. This is how I handle the jib. Prior to the tack I make sure all the lines a clear and ready to go. When tacking (which, BTW, is the only time I cleat the main sheet) I will keep the leeward sheet cleated and allow the jib to backwind. This helps get the boat around...
I must admit, I didn't read through it and since I don't race the Capri, I don't really have any first hand knowledge. I know many go to that document as the source. I have found it helpful in other instances. That being said, if there is no other documentation, I would surmise that the boom...
I have a very similar issue. I tie one line to the bow eye and the other line has a spring hook on the end which I snap around the traveler line. I have lots of bumpers on the dock itself. I have a number of cleats on the dock and I tie the boat up differently depending on the depth of the lake...
My original sail has both a bolt rope and a slug so I can sail it either attached it loose footed. With the shelf for have you tried sailing it loose footed?
Thanks. I bought my boat cover from them and it has served me well. They were also very responsive when one of the buckles broke. They are not cheap, but considerably less expensive then North or Quantum

1) Larger screws
2) Move the eye strap a bit fore or aft
3) Boom bail to replace eye strap
4) Take the opportunity to re-rig in a more efficient/effective way

My tiller is attached as the OP stated, "My tiller slides through the rudder head, and it is only stopped from sliding out by a small screw at the butt end of the tiller". I find that I rarely shorten it more than a few inches which keeps the large part of the tiller within the rudder head...
