    Capris at Sea (@ Fort Walton Beach)

    Tim & Kim pinged me from a post in these forums and said they'd be in the area on vacation with their Capri and would enjoy exchanging tips and tricks. The weather was fantastic and at times a bit sporty. We launched with 10kts gusting to 14 beating up the bay, made it to a great beaching...

    Winds 24kts Gusting to Waterspouts

    I put these pics and the story to go with them on Book of Faces for family and friends but I figured I’d share them here as well. This winter and spring have been ridiculously windy and there’ve been plenty of 15 gusting to 20, 25 gusting to 30+ days this boat has survived. These pics were...

    Dingy Wrangling & How Shallow Can You Go?

    The published draft with board up is 4 inches on the majority of 'authoritative' documents that I've run across and this weekend we tested that to the limits. We had unbelievably nice weather in the Hampton Roads region over the holiday weekend so we took the Capri out a few times between...

    Remarkable Refurb

    Russ and Jennifer's story prompted me to throw our recent refurb up and I'm going to steal their idea for the the dry box in the back bench. Impressive story you two! I used to sail this boat as a boy on Lake Michigan along with Hobie 16s, and other cruisers in the family. This was a favorite...
