You can fix those holes by using waterproof epoxy. Fill them in with it. Let it dry and redrill.

According to the pictures it does and they have been around a while. I'm working on making one myself, but in the meantime, I just used a topping lift line.

very different from the Capri sorry can't help you, but it does look to be fiberglass and repairable. If it is plastic, you can still fix, mend or weld it.

Do you have a picture? Many of the boxes can be removed and a door or panel added. If the dimensions are the same as the Capri 14.2, I have a box for sale that was removed from my boat.

how does the whisker pole mount into that? Anyone have pictures?

a lot depends on the lake bottom. That alone determines the type and weight of the mooring anchor. Hard Sandy bottom means an easy drag so you need it to be heavier. A Muddy bottom will allow the anchor to sink into the mud and become "stuck" which is what you want. Myself...I happened to...

I have the larger Bob on my mast and it works and looks fine

The boat does not have a downhaul, you have to use the Boomvang and the Cunningham

I'm a bit nuts and used an Apline Butterfly Knot. Cows Hitch can move on you and a Bowline CAN come undone. That said, the Cows Hitch is the least bulky and will not catch on the shrouds like the others (including mine)

so what was the answer...I just discovered another on my lake so we have TWO!

well I stepped the mast...its rather easy to do even in water and mounted a spare 3/16" line I had at the top and now have my topping lift. That said, the only reason I didn't make a homemade Boomkicker was that to do it right I wanted to properly shape a piece of aluminum to attach the the...

yep, I do have a book for sale still

Hi Larry, If you are using a gas powered motor, you need a mount...like I am selling. If you are just mounting a light weight trolling motor you simply need a pad mounted to the outside. It can be wood or plastic. Its purpose is to spread out the load of the mount. As for pointing, do you...

I just installed the Yellow Jib today so now she is under full color! Best news was that the yellow jib was a Luff Wire already so there was no need to sew anything. I'll adding new line to the roller though so it doesn't need to get extended. Right now when I unfurl it, the end is up on the...

I like the book kicker, but just curious..since the kicker would interfere with my sail cover (meaning another expense) We does the topping lift need to be at the top of the mast? If its mounted on the side high enough up so that you have a good angle, it could be secured easily (to a side cleat...

picked up my PVC and making one today.

well I got it down...took a bit of practice but dropping (furling) the jib before making the approach helped a ton. Now all I have to do is pick up the pennant and secure the boat, then drop the main.

what diameter PVC did he use to do that? Doesn't look like 1/2" will work.

OK, been sailing a while, but this is the first time I've tried to launch from and pick up a mooring solo. Any time I have done this in the past, I had help. I have a roller Furling Jib so that is a bit of a help, but setting the mail sail when I was launching was difficult at best. Trying to...

I've owned many boats and have never named one...that was until I bought my 14.2 this past week. She was named before I ever left the previous owners driveway with her. See, I wasn't planning on buying a small boat...I was looking for a 43' sailboat when this sweetie caught my eye and I bought...
