Hello!
My wife and I own an '84 Model 1 14.2, but have yet to christen it in nearby Joe Pool Lake, near Grand Prairie. We are looking forward to learning to sail, and wish you all the best!
Sorry about that! this is an up and down forum for responses, so don't take it too personally, OK? Welcome!
It sounds like you've got a handle on the gear aspect. Wish I could help on the info side.. I'm a total newbie, and live in the Dallas area. I may be in over my head, cuz my life is...
Well... I measured mine, and they are 30", 24", and 18" long. They are 5/8" wide. Evidently I'm missing rubber tips that prevent wear, and I've seen them at West Marine. Hope this helps. I'm a newbie, but thought someone should reply.
Off the Vagabond 14 site, I'll bet this has been posted before, but forgive me the repetition.

At the vagabondsailing site, under How To, the last entry is "Make a H-14 Mast Float". Looks very doable. Has anyone here actually...
Talk about sour grapes! Mooseman... it's apparent your disatisfaction runs deeper than just your concerns, and I guess you feel dissed by the lack of communication from Catalina regarding your unhappiness regarding the 14.2, and quick communication to sell you... I get that. Did you know...
Correct on the correction! Please forgive the musician in me, I'm no engineer, obviously! Where in Argentina do you live? I've been to Buenos Aires, and it remains my favorite city in all of the Americas. Craig
I've noticed that every centerboard photo in this forum has a short pin through the centerboard serving as a stop. Mine has an integral stop. Anyone have any info regarding the originality, history of this style? Many thanks! I've gotten so much from this forum.
Here you go! both sides of the latch system (the nut is peened so as not to come off the bolt, hence the sanding job around the area). The top of the hatch simply slides up in a recess behind the teak crossmember.
Ravex...
While cleaning out my new-to-me hull #151, I found, of all things, the original hatch cover with canvas bag... stuffed way back under the port seat (along with a dozen beer cans!). In great condition. I'll take pics of the latch, which is described with line drawings elsewhere in the...
Congrats Scott!
You are one sail ahead of me, and probably will be by several before I get into the water for my first sail. I've had my Capri less than a week now, and am making all the fittings strong and stainless (as opposed to rusty steel!). A few new trailer parts as well are needed, and...
I'm in the same boat... :D. My Mod 1 needs a hatch cover, which I can make, but I'm not sure about the method to attach it. Has anyone posted pics of their solution. Four points of locking, two? and is there a gasket that works that's not a marine item, perhaps auto? My teak is all there, and...
Hola!
In the event you haven't finished your plate pins, the Male pin is 9mm wide by 200mm long, plus 2mm for plate thickness and welded on back of plate. Female receiver stud is 12mm OD/10mm ID by 201mm length, plus 2mm for plate thickness and welded on back of plate. I'm no engineer, but...
