We've recently started racing our C14's on Lake Grapevine in N. Texas. the Grapevine Sailing Club requires three boats to qualify as a class and race for points. I think that's a good rule of thumb.
The North Texas Capri 14 Fleet has a FaceBook page, so check it out if you're in the North Texas...

I'm looking at buying another C14.2 to help grow the North Texas fleet...I plan to name her Charla Ann!

Hello! I was curious if you've been able to get your fleet off the ground in DC? I certainly hope so as we need to see more active fleets. I've recently gotten three owners together to form the North Texas fleet. A fourth is on the way and I plan to get our class involved in the summer racing...
The Capri 14 Fleet of North Texas had its first voyage this morning on Lake Grapevine in Tarrant County Texas.
We had three boats on our voyage today. It was a beautiful morning with nice easy winds. Perfect for a “getting to know you sail” and getting our sea legs back on after a winter off the...
