    De-masted in Mission Bay 2013

    You can fix those holes by using waterproof epoxy. Fill them in with it. Let it dry and redrill.

    "Topping Lift"

    According to the pictures it does and they have been around a while. I'm working on making one myself, but in the meantime, I just used a topping lift line.

    Omega 14 crack in storage box

    very different from the Capri sorry can't help you, but it does look to be fiberglass and repairable. If it is plastic, you can still fix, mend or weld it.

    Omega 14 crack in storage box

    Do you have a picture? Many of the boxes can be removed and a door or panel added. If the dimensions are the same as the Capri 14.2, I have a box for sale that was removed from my boat.

    Mooring Advice

    a lot depends on the lake bottom. That alone determines the type and weight of the mooring anchor. Hard Sandy bottom means an easy drag so you need it to be heavier. A Muddy bottom will allow the anchor to sink into the mud and become "stuck" which is what you want. Myself...I happened to...

    Downhaul

    The boat does not have a downhaul, you have to use the Boomvang and the Cunningham

    How do you tie your jibsheet?

    I'm a bit nuts and used an Apline Butterfly Knot. Cows Hitch can move on you and a Bowline CAN come undone. That said, the Cows Hitch is the least bulky and will not catch on the shrouds like the others (including mine)

    "Topping Lift"

    well I stepped the mast...its rather easy to do even in water and mounted a spare 3/16" line I had at the top and now have my topping lift. That said, the only reason I didn't make a homemade Boomkicker was that to do it right I wanted to properly shape a piece of aluminum to attach the the...

    New Guy

    Hi Larry, If you are using a gas powered motor, you need a mount...like I am selling. If you are just mounting a light weight trolling motor you simply need a pad mounted to the outside. It can be wood or plastic. Its purpose is to spread out the load of the mount. As for pointing, do you...

    New Guy

    I just installed the Yellow Jib today so now she is under full color! Best news was that the yellow jib was a Luff Wire already so there was no need to sew anything. I'll adding new line to the roller though so it doesn't need to get extended. Right now when I unfurl it, the end is up on the...

    "Topping Lift"

    I like the book kicker, but just curious..since the kicker would interfere with my sail cover (meaning another expense) We does the topping lift need to be at the top of the mast? If its mounted on the side high enough up so that you have a good angle, it could be secured easily (to a side cleat...
