    Nice sailing day except for 1 detail

    Took my wife and my Mod 1 out on the lake (central Florida) this morning in brisk winds. Forecast was for 12-14 knots and I think it was at least that. The boat was perfect (and fast) and my wife is getting a little more at ease or at least a little less panicky in strong winds so we had a...

    Wisker Pole

    My Capri does not have a whisker pole. Nor does it seem to have anything on the mast to attach one to. I would love to see a pic of the attachment hardware on the mast and also the pole itself. Super great would be a source for these. Thanks.

    Mod 1 or Mod 2?

    I just purchased a 1991 Capri 14.2 with hull # 1792. I was under the impression that it was a mod 2. However, after reading this forum for a while, I have concluded that it must be a mod 1. It has an open cuddy and a teak hatch door. Is that conclusive or are there some other differences I...

    Hiking Stick Re-attachment

    Has anyone re-attached the hiking stick after the flexible rubber part severed? It looks like I could just drill a hole through both the tiller and the hiking stick and put a bolt with a self-locking nut and a washer between the two. A better solution would be to find a place where I could...

    Maiden Voyage

    Cool! Took my wife (Barby) with me on the maiden voyage of our new (1991) mod 2. I LOVE THIS BOAT! The winds were very light which was a disappointment but the boat moved along very well in light air. Did not leak a drop. All in all we had a great time. Launching and recovering was a...

    Sail # Question

    I just bought the best toy I've ever owned. Don't take offense because I used the word toy. I mean it in the best possible way. Anyway, the hull # is 1792 and the sails have #1823. I've raced one design R/C sailboats and the AMYA issues registration #s for the sails. I suppose that is...

    Bought a new (1991) Capri 14.2

    Was undecided between the Capri 14.2 and the American Sail 14.6. (See thread here). Got a hitch put on my car yesterday, the wife and I drove 181 miles to look at a Capri 14.2. After a long and thoughtful inspection and a trip to Walmart to get some strapping, chain, and wiring bought it...

    Capri 14.2 vs American Sail 14.6

    I am looking at a Capri 14.2 and an American Sail 14.6. I'm looking for opinions. I'm torn but I've never sailed either boat. My wife likes the stability of the A-14.6. I like the liveliness of the Capri, etc. I have a good line on one of each to purchase right now. Sure could use some...

    One man rigging time

    Hello all, I'm new here and do not yet own a Capri. I'm looking at a couple of 14.2s that I am interested in. Question for the forum. What do you think would be the time it would take one experienced man to rig the boat from arrival at the ramp on the trailer to sails up in the water...
