I replaced the bottom gasket on my Mod 1 last summer. It was the original from the ' 80's so I found that most of the screws holding the hard plastic bracket were rusted and stuck very hard in place. Use WD-40 or something like that a day or so before attempting to get those screws out if your...

I did pretty much the same thing for the same problem. I drilled a 3/8 inch hole at the highest lift of the centerboard even with the deck and used a prong from an old manure fork (common plastic fork in a horse barn), which is tappered. I shove the prong through the hole wedging it in tight...

You might want to get a Baby Bob mast float so that you will never capsize again. With the float the boat will only stand on it's side. Go to page two of the Capri 14.2 forum and scroll down to "Expo 14.2 turtling" On that page I have sent complete instructions of one way to attach it to the...

Looking at the parts list, I would think that you would have to get the kick up head and other metal parts from them, but $120 - $130 for a tiller and extension sounds a little rediculous. A simple 2x2 from Lowe's would cost, what, $5? Round out the shaft with a knife and sanding (or a friend...

Catalina Direct: Rudder Hardware You will find everything you need here.

Tim, scroll down on pages 1 and 2 of this forum and you will find a lot of info posted to questions about re-fitting a Capri, restoring an older 14.2, and lots of other tips on the best mounting and motor to have on board. An oar on board isn't going to do you much good, however, I suppose it...

Bob, Thank you for your note. I am sorry to have delayed a response. I only saw your message this morning as I was thinking that since the weather was getting so nice perhaps there are new threads coming up on this site. I still have some minor jobs to finish on my boat before getting it into...

Guys, I have been meaning to write and mention that Anthony received the photo's and plans for my gig to attach the Baby Bob to a Capri 14.2 mast, and that they have been posted. They are posted, however, in the "Expo Turtling" thread in this forum. I would like your opinions on my idea...

I have photo's and instructions for attaching a Baby Bob to the Catalina masts with clean lines and very little trouble. Other methods have been posted in the past but this design does not have a metal bracket being bolted to the mast head and setting the float off-center. I am not able to post...

wow posted the last to the wrong thread

Anthony, Thank you for posting the detailed pictures of your boat. I just got this one in Oct. and it is my first sailboat. 1985 Catalina Capri 14.2 sailboat for sale in Virginia I liked seeing that the newer models have not changed that much from my older one. I was wondering if...

I have ordered the power center and the same battery. I always have a full charge in my phone when going out anywhere and also have a phone charger to use in my Ram. However, it's nice to know that I could use the power center for that too. I have had all the bells and whistles disconnected...

Just also noticed that we have the same color scheme main sails. My old girl is number 575.

Ah, hit wrong button. I was going to add that I note you are in Hampton VA. I wanted to mention that my wife and I are avid visitors to Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. We have done many living history events at all three over the years. Also, I purchased my boat in October from a man...

Thank you for your input Pirate (I'm assuming that Tammy is Scooter). Your pictures look great. I noticed that you joined this forum on the Marine Corps Birthday Oooh Rahhh Your pictures look great. You are obviously more experienced with sailing than I am, being completely new and waiting...

Sailing in November, wow! I'll be putting the warm blankets on the horses, shoveling you know what, and thinking about warm water in the Spring.

I bought one of these for use in my Sabot. I had thought about cushions when I first saw the seats in my Capri. I guess I will get another one for my wife before we take it out for the first time next Spring. They float too. Coleman Stadium Chair - Walmart.com Tom
