Hello Sailors,
Just went out for the maiden sail in the Capri. I could not figure out how to secure the swing keel in the down position. The Handbook talks of a 4 ft piece of shockcord, but I found no illustration. It seems that I need to pull the the keek back towards the Barney Post with some stretch cord. Also, there are a pair of grommet holes forward in the cockpit for some sort of stretch cord which is long shreaded. Again, I could not see in the manual what these connect to.
