    inspection port for capri/omega

    Omega 14 layout No. The Omega 14 is largely an open dinghy. There's a bench that runs along each side all the way from the transom to the bow of the boat. The bow part of the bench, where they meet, has a small stowage compartment that's maybe 2 cubic feet in volume. The whole deck and bench...

    inspection port for capri/omega

    Inspection port I had considered installing inspecition ports under the bench on both sides of the center of the centerboard on mine. Considering the build of the boat, this position would see like the best place to view the most of the interior with the least holes.

    Capri to be identified

    Your Capri You don't have a Capri 14, you have a Capri Omega-14. They're older. It's the same kind I have. Hull number Ω-1143. Mine doesn't have the boom vang you do. I plan on adding one though.

    Separating the inner and outer hull of an Omega 14

    After some consideration I thought about it some and I think I've come up with some ways to approach this. Cut some inspection ports on both sides on the front of the benches. That'll let me see into the cavity at the very least. I should be able to plan from there. It'll be some time before...

    Sail # Question

    I don't think there's any need to register the boat except to race, but I can tell you that those aren't the original sails for the boat. Registration in regards to boat taxes, if they apply, don't typically specify requiring numbering on the sails. So, unless it bothers you, you really don't...

    Separating the inner and outer hull of an Omega 14

    My Omega 14 (Hull 1143) has some severe stress cracking along the deep parts of the seats. Is there a way to separate the inner and outer hulls of the Omega 14 so I can freely access the backside of all the fiberglass along the benches and hull? I haven't yet looked in the centerboard box to see...

    Delamination problem

    West Marine Fiberglass and Gelcoat DVD I'd highly recommend West Marine's Fiberglass and Gelcoat DVD instructional video. It really helps with explaining how to perform a lot of fiberglass repairs on boats. It was only $20. While it is skewed towards using thier product, the techniques they...

    Damaged Plastic bags inside the hull

    Access to floatation bags How do you gain access to the flotation bags? I ask because I'd like to be able to access the backside of a lot of the fiberglass for repairing some stress cracks and to inspect for internal damage. I'm assuming if I can do one, I can do the other.
