Happy New Year to everyone.
I'm a do-it-yourself kind of person and have already installed several improvements to my 14.2.
Has anyone considered, or ever heard of, a weighted centerboard for this boat? I'm new to sailing but wondered to myself if any stability could be gained with some...
Perhaps I would learn this myself in time, but it would be helpful to know if there's a "correct" order for getting started.

Needing to launch from public ramps with limited room, a motor was essential. Here are a couple of shots of the Honda BF-2. I've been out twice now and it's a spectacular...
As a first-time sailor (not counting one vacation outing years ago on a Hobie-Cat), today marked the first outing on my new-to-me Capri 14.2.
Summary: Extremely lite wind / well inland (Rappahannock River in Va.) / no problems / great first trip!
After spending the last few weeks...
Hello! I was looking for a 14 or 15' boat to learn on and settled on a Capri 14.2 that is in great shape. I'm currently making the trailer more road-worthy, but hope to get out on the water soon.
