    Turtle on Superior

    Can't help you with your question, but I have a Y bracket to support the mast during trailing for sale if you're interested. It came off my 1992 Capri which sails no longer. Email me directly at [email protected].

    Some basic questions

    The Capri is a great boat for families. I've had four adults and my daughter on board while sailing at the lake at Rock Cut State Park in Rockford. We didn't move as fast as we would have with only two adults, but we all had fun. I've never sailed at Busse Woods, but I hear it's fine for small...

    Is sticker paper HIN legit?

    Don't write it off as a bad deal just yet! There are a couple of issues here that you are bundling together. I am not a lawyer, but I have purchased several boats, kayaks, campers, and trailers from states which do not provide titles. I live in Illinois, which does title. First, always...
