Was undecided between the Capri 14.2 and the American Sail 14.6. (See thread here).
Got a hitch put on my car yesterday, the wife and I drove 181 miles to look at a Capri 14.2. After a long and thoughtful inspection and a trip to Walmart to get some strapping, chain, and wiring bought it w/trailer and drove it home. Got home at 2:00 AM.
My first experience hauling a trailer in 30 years. Everything went fine.
Now I am up already, cancelled golf, and I'm ready to spend the day figuring out all the rigging and doing some trailer sailing in the driveway. Never owned a boat and haven't sailed in 30 years.
I am a happy sailor!!
BTW, my older brother and I were the Florida state champs in the Windmill class around 1964ish. Not sure about the exact year. Been a while. But this boat is for my wife and I to enjoy some nice day sailing on some beautiful lakes here in the Ocala, FL area.
