I'm referring to the Portsmouth rating of 99.8-100.2; which is significantly slower than very similar boats (such as the Lido 14 with a rating of 98.3-99.7).
The Capri looks so sleak and fast, it's hard to believe that it should take such a speed penalty just because it's 30 pounds heavier (especially since a lot of Lido's are 30+ years old and probably carrying a little more than their original 310 pounds). Am I missing something? Are you Capri sailors sandbagging?
I ask because I'm downsizing from a Flying Scot and the Capri looks great. Just wondering about the sailing characteristics.
BTW: What's the chance of getting one onto a plane (and I'm not talking aircraft)?
Cheers.
