Any comments (good or bad) on buying a new racing sail for a sunfish? Laser Performance, Sunfish Direct, Intensity. I sail in a small sailing club and need to upgrade my sail.
Hello aquaman. I have read and enjoy your posts. I sail my capri at Creve Coeur Lake. We have a small sailing club(30-40 ) and race twice a month. We do have a public dock that we maintain for the park dept during the sailing season. It is a fairly small lake but good for boats 14ft-18ft. I also...
Where do most people sit on their capri, on the gunwale or the seat? I used to race with crew and we always sat on the seat and shifted our weight around according to the needs. Now I mostly race single handed and find I need to move my weight out onto the gunwale. I find it a little bit more...
I race my capri 14.2 in a small club with other types of boats, sunfish, FJ, etc. They all seem to be able to point higher then me giving them a clear advantage when sailing up wind. Any tips out there to enable me to point higher? Shift my weight, sail adjustment etc. Note, I sail sometimes...
I sail with Creve Coeur Sailing Association at Creve Coeur Lake. We have a club of approximately 50 members and we race twice a month.

I am taking a family vacation in July to Destin FL. Does anyone know where I could rent or charter a small sailboat? I would like to do some daysailing. I own a Capri 14.2 and a sunfish. I sail and race regularly here in St. Louis. Thanks for any advice, Chris
Robert, thank you for your information. That is exactly what I have in mind. A small trolling motor just to use on occasions. I will use a larger battery, since I won't use the trolling motor during any race days.
Thanks again,
Chris
I would like to purchase a small trolling motor for my 14.2 Capri just to get in and out of the harbor. Any thoughts on on what size, thrust etc? Thanks. Chris
