If your boat takes on water I would say its coming from a crack or small hole or its coming in through the seam where the bottom hull is attached to the deck. Not through the drain plug.
I just bought a Capri and the previous Owner kept it all summer in a lake. Now I need to flip it over and...
The deck boards on our dock are 2 x 6 treated pine. It has been stained many times. In years past it was stained with a oil based stain but now the last time we stained it we had to switch over to a quality water based stain. I probably will need 10 gallons. We stain about every 3 years just to...
I have a Mod 3 Capri 14.2 in fair shape. I am not the first owner and even when I got it about 4 years ago the bottom was a bit soft in the rear starboard side. This year it is noticeably worse and the bottom even sits on the trailer crooked as the soft spot deflect upward where it sits on the...
My 14.2 is a late 80's model and in fair shape. I am not the first owner and even when I got it about 4 years ago the bottom was a bit soft in the rear starboard side. This year it is noticeably worse and the bottom even sits on the trailer crooked as the soft spot deflect upward where it sits...
I have a Mod 3 Capri. When I go on vacation up to Wisconsin I sail hard and keep my Capri in the water for a week. We have a blast sailing on the big waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
My problem is that the boat will slowly take on water to the point where by the end of the week I may...
Aft Mast Crutch
I bought an Aft Mast Stand from Annapolis Performance Sailing. I highly recommend this addition to your Capri. It slips right in to the rudder brackets and securely supports the mast up off the boat. You can make something that will work, but if you prefer to spend your time...
Hiking Straps
Not that familar with the Omega, but assume it is like my Capri. I bought straps recently from Masthead Enterprises and paid $75 plus shipping. Catalina's were more expensive; I am sure you could make some very functional ones for a lot less. I ran out of time and bought a set of...
make your own whisker pole
It would not be hard to make your own. Just buy an aluminum 8' telescoping painters pole, and mke connections at each end.
You can Google the item from many sailing supply houses and either buy one from them or make your own.
I am going to make my own and see...
Has anyone replaced their hiking straps lately and could you offer information on where they purchased them and what they cost?
I have seen some old posts but wondered if anyone has done it recently.
Purchased them or made thier own............any suggestions would be appreciated. Mine...
As part of my spring tune-up for my Mod 3 Capri 14.2 I plan on replacing all the running rigging.
I know the C14 Handbook has some recomendations for this, but I was hoping someone had done this recently and could offer advice on line type, length and diameter. Also where they bought it...
I am going to buy an outboard motor for my Capri 14.2 to get me out on to the lake. Will a short shaft motor work or do I need to get the long shaft? I have been able to find a couple of short shafts for sale but no long shafts.
Any recomendations? Anyone got a suitable motor they want to sell?
No experience with SLO but they are on my short list of people to contact this winter when I plan to purchase news sales. I am curious how it works out for you...hope they come in time for your regatta.
Suggest you call them and call them. Hopefully they have a good reason and will express...
Any suggestions on how to restore and protect the fiberglass finish on my recently purchased Mod 3 Capri 14.2?
I am talking about the deck and inside surface of the boat. The fiberglass is white in color but has chalked and is dull in appearance.
Also what about cleaning and...
