    Mast stolen! Now what?

    John, this sounds awfully naive, coming from a 62-year-old, but: You might contact a dealer and ask if he/she has a demo boat or boat in stock from which you could borrow a mast, with the agreement that you would replace it with your new one when it arrives. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Capri 14.2 vs. Lido 14

    Don, here is a discussion of all 3 boats by a friend of mine: who has been a dealer for Lidos and Catalinas (Capris). We were also discussion the American: "For fit, finish and easy of use and maintenance, I honestly don't think you can beat the C14.2. You'll seldom have problems with the...

Although I only weigh 150 lbs, I am concerned that the stern may ride too low, even with two mushroom anchors up in the cuddy. My questions are related to how you installed your battery into...

    Question on Handbook

    :confused: Folks, I am in the process of selling my Com-Pac Sun Cat and purchasing a used Capri 14.2. If I am NOT interested in racing, do I still need the Handbook? I.e., is it only racing rules and regulations, or is it a pretty handy owner's manual? Thanks in advance.
