    spare parts

    A knife, a bit of extra line, a paddle, and a cellphone should solve most of your problems. To me, on a daysailer, you only need enough to get back to shore where you can fix what is broken.

    First capsize

    Great rules. I learned to sail on large keel boats and have not yet had much dinghy experience. No better way to learn that this! Thanks for the advice.

    First capsize

    Well, I had my first capsize in the C14.2 over the weekend. It was actually pretty easy to capsize. It was blowing 10-15 and I was sailing under main alone and I was getting along pretty well and having a lot of fun. I was out for a quick little sail to determine if I should bring my son out...

    Downwind sailing

    I guess the best angle to find would be the one where you can most easily get the boat to plane - thus hull speed will not matter anymore. Is there any general feeling for how much wind and at what angle is needed to get the boat to plane as well?

    Downwind sailing

    How has everyone found is the quickest way to sail downwind with the C14.2? Do you normally sail dead downwind and go wing on wing? If so, do you pole out the jib and do you tie a preventer or anything on the main to keep it to the lee or just have someone hold it? Do you normally crack...

    Sails from Catalina

    Just an FYI. I looked for this information and could not find it in the archives, but I figure it is good information in case anyone else is interested. I called Catalina, and got the following prices for their factory sails. Main, part# 37652, $489.90 Jib (furling), part# 37655, $357.67...

    Hoisting the mainsail.

    Just to make sure, you are pointing dead into the wind and uncleating the sheet when you put the main up in the water, right? That way, it should keep luffed and you would have no problem with tipping it over putting the main up. Only problem is that if you are doing it at the dock, than can't...

    Roller furler sail attachment

    We have a roller furler on our newly purchase boat (1989). The headsail seems loose when up along the luff because I think that the tack is not attached down to the boat or the furling drum. It looks like it is just loose around the wire luff. This caused the sail to be loose and when...

    Rudder repair

    Maybe I am looking at the fiberglass then? It didn't feel as hard as I thought that it would if it were fiberglass though, but maybe only the gelcoat has been scraped off. I thought that I had read somewhere that the rudder and centerboard had a foam interior, so I assumed. I will try to...

    Rudder repair

    I am a new Capri 14.2 owner as of this morning. I bought a 1989 and can't wait to get it out on the water. First I have to fix a tear in the headsail (furling) and was wondering about my rudder and centerboard. I had a few questions about the rudder and centerboard and how to fix them...
