    Can/should Hull damage be repaired

    I had no so great results with my patch. It looked ok, but I had a couple areas where there were air pockets and thin laminate. I didnt want to go through patching again in a couple years so I dropped it off to my local repair guy. He said what I did looked pretty good and he could just touch it...

    Can/should Hull damage be repaired

    Mine is doing the same thing in the same place, but it was a previous repair that failed. I'm repairing it with West Systems epoxy and fiberglass tape. So far it looks ok. The hardest part was making a piece of fiberglass to go inside the hull, and then bond it with epoxy while having no inside...

    I'm obviously going to search the site for ideas, but does anyone have a good source for parts. Someone knowledgeable about the Capri. I need to order a few odds and ends. John

    First time Capri Owner

    The previous owner had lots of great info for me, including the C14 book in a binder. With the exception of the jib, this boat rigs alot like my Laser did. DB

    First time Capri Owner

    I just bought a 1987 Capri 14.2 yesterday. Sail Number 1692. I bought it primarily for my 13 year old to sail. He has experience in Sunfishes, Lasers, Lightnings and JY's. We will be using it inshore in the Beaufort SC area. I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring and hopefully I'll be...

    Outhaul & cunningham rigging

    John, I'm in the same boat as you (no pun intended). I have just started sailing the Laser and rigging and unrigging everything is a real pain. Hopefully we can get some good advice from your post and start enjoying our boats more. Another thing is I can never remember on how to fold up...

    Need upgrade advice (I know, I know!)

    Thanks for all the advice. I decided to start with the new lines from APS. I got some good rigging ideas from the link posted by GeoffS. We'll play around with it this weekend and see what I can come up with. Thanks again, DB

    Need upgrade advice (I know, I know!)

    I don't plan on selling the boat. I stole the boat for $500. It had only been used a 1/2 dozen times. I don't think I could find another deal like that for a while.

    Need upgrade advice (I know, I know!)

    I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times and answered a thousand times, but I still want to ask for myself. I have a 1991 Laser that I bought a couple of years ago. I am only a recreational user and don't race (or haven't yet). The laser has all of the old style rigging. Do I really need...
