    What has to be done ?

    Was looking for something to sail alone. I thought the Capri Expo 14.2 would be perfect, liked the furling mainsail, but the new price is giving me heart burn. So, I might have to get a used Capri 14.2, sloop rigged and then make it as single-handed as I can. Has anyone worked a...

    Expo charges ahead

    Just heard some of what I thought was very surprising info yesterday. I was talking to a Capri dealer and was asking about looking at the 2 models of the 14.2. I was told they didn't carry the Bermuda rigged boat anymore. This was due to the high number of Expo's they were selling. They said...

    Sailing angle to the wind

    All things being equal and speaking theoretically could you answer a couple of questions for me ? A.

    I have a rigging question of the Expo vs: 14.2 sloop.

On the Expo there is no traveler and the sheet is just connected to...

    For family (wife & I) use?

    Just getting into this sailing thing and was wondering if a Laser would be ok for a more sedate sail, as with the wife or are they primarily a single handed racer ? I don't hear much on general sailing.

    Capri 14.2 Expo Regret?

    I find the Expo very interesting with the quick set-up and ease of sailing but I do have a question. Is there anyone out there that has bought this model and then regreted it because there is no jib to trim or misses shaping the mainsail for better speed or has known of someone who did. Being...
