In a welcome change from last years Nats when the wind touched the high teens, the breezes varied from 5 to 10 knots for this year's classic, with clear skies and mid-70 temperatures. Just what the 7-boat contingent from Arizona was hoping for - cool weather! Kevin Laube, a junior sailor from...

Since 1954, Camp Olsen has been introducing children to the joys of sailing in beautiful northern Minnesota. Their fleet includes three Capri 14.2s. They are hoping to replace their aging Capri 14.2 sails, but can't afford new ones. If any of you have a set of set of used, but still usable...

Once more, the Capri 14.2 Nationals return to the waters of San Diego’s Mission Bay, a world-renown small-boat racing venue. Cool, steady sea breezes and flat water - perfect! Several fleets intend to travel to Mission Bay, including entries from LA, Lake Mission Viejo, San Luis Obispo and...

Okay, troops, this is it. I've read about many wild experiences in Capri 14.2s, but this by far is the absolute worst. About the only advice I can give after reading this disaster is, if the weather is knarly, lower the centerboard all the way and secure it so it stays down. Better yet, if it's...

Capri 14.2 sailors in the sun belt may not have snow but we also have to think about winter storage as we do have rain and wind. For those using the Catalina canvas cover (expensive, but oh, so nice, as are the ones made by Rooke Sails) it's important to keep water from pooling on it and...

Tough Sailing at the Capri 14.2 Nationals (posted on behalf of Ed Jones) When 19 boats headed out in San Diego's Mission Bay, the sailors expected the sea breeze to be brisk, but not 20 knots worth! That's what it peaked out at on the first day of racing. Averaging 15 knots, the four races were...

The cover of the latest issue has a great picture of the Capri 14.2 Nationals. Looks like it was a lot of fun. It makes me wish I lived in San Diego. It's not often we make the cover. Way to go!!

I've started a thread here to discuss this boat. Until Lark posted a comment about it in another thread, I was unaware of its existance. Lark, tell us about this boat. Do you like it? How does it sail? Is it as stable as Catalina says on their website? It looks like a large family would be...

I have a lot of nice photos that people have sent me. Special thanks to Ed Jones, Art Jaeger, and Brian Anderson. The latest round from Art's trip to Mission Bay are fantastic! Aside from being a good sailor, Art is an excellent photographer. I also have some from other members. You'll see...

I came across this link. The example is a power boat, but it seems to be that it is also appropriate for a saiboats as well. http://www.shorelander.com/pages/forum/f_trstep1.html

Thanks to our guest lecturer, Chris Snow of North Sails, we had a terrific race clinic in San Diego on April 10. We had sixteen participants, most of whom rotated among 6 boats for the afternoon on-the-water session, in which we sailed eight practice starts and an equal number of short races in...
