    Centerboard trunk sealant

    I strongly suspect that i have a leak at me centerboard trunk seam. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get where the sealant is. In order to do it right, i feel like i need to grind out the old hardened sealant and replace it with new. Has anyone ever attempted this? Im having trouble...

    Post your mod 2 hatch pics

    Anyone out there have a good example of a mod 2 cuddy insert to hatch conversion? I'm convinced this is the way to go so that I can actually inspect and access the inside of the boat when needed, but there doesn't seem to be a real easy drop in solution. Just wondering what others may have done...

    How do I rebed deck fittings?

    Throughout this summer I've been getting some water coming out the drainplug after the boat has been in the water for a few days. It seemed that there was more water after weekends when it rained, therefore I had a sneaking suspicion that the deck fittings were leaking. I have a mod 2 and after...

    Sticking Furling Jib

    One problem I've been having every time I go out is that my furling jib does not unfurl all the way and ends up getting stuck. I have to crawl out onto the deck and turn the spool by hand to get it to go. Does anyone else have this problem? Seems to me that it might be because the diameter of...

    Centerboard Repair Questions (with pics!)

    Looking to clean up my centerboard a bit and have a couple questions. First, there is a hole in my centerboard which I think the previous owner stuck a dowel through to keep the board from moving while trailering. Will this hole affect performance in any way? If not I think I might actually...

    Flexing Seats

    How much flex should there be in the seats? I crawled into my boat for the first time while it was on the trailer and the seats seam to flex alot. If I push down in the middle of them it maybe only takes 30 pounds of force or so to flex them quite a bit. There are also alot of cracks on the...

    Roller Furling Storage

    This is probably a really dumb question, but the boat I just bought ( my first boat) has a roller furling jib and I'm a bit confused on how to store the sail. The forestay actually runs through the sail correct? I would like to put the jib in a bag, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to bend...

    First Boat! New 14.2 to me, lots of questions

    Just bought a 1990 14.2 and have plenty of questions. The boat looked in really good shape but I have a couple of things on my mind right after the purchase. (probably would have been better to ask before I bought it!) - The boat has some hairline cracks in the gelcoat around the seats up...

    Fixed Keel Launching/Retrieving

    Hi, New to the forum and new to sailing. Looking to purchase my first boat before next spring and have been doing quite a bit of research. I took an ASA 101 class this summer and I really want to get on the water. I think I've settled on a Capri 14.2, and I'm leaning heavily towards the fixed...
