I have the original sheets that are about a half inch in diameter. I would like to replace these. Can anyone recommnend the type of material line to use? Source and part number maybe? I do have a West Marine nearby. I have seen that others have used smaller diameter line, is this because it's...

I have found that while sailing solo, visibility is pretty lousy through the orignal window on my 1996 14.2. I would like to look into adding more window area to the Jib (by a sail loft). I would like to know of others who have done this and what size/palacement. Also, are their any concerns...

I am planning now for the warmer weather ahead. I want to replace the main and Jib sheets. I believe that I currently have the original (fat ones). I know that I haves een that they can be replaced with thinner ones. I have a roller furler on th Jib. What I would like to do is to get...

Just curious as to where those with Jib furlers tie of the control line. I currently use the port side Jib Car adjustment screw. I have had this unwind and let loose, so I would like to find a better way. I have been thiking about adding a small cleat to the outside of the Jib car. In...

I wanted to thank everyone, and especially Brian Anderson for the opportunity to visit the MBYC and witness the races from an excellent vantage point. Everyone made me feel very welcome. I met several people at lunch time, but I am sure that I did not meet all of you. I am a Capri 14.2 owner...

This would be a good place to "talk" about equipment installation tips and how well the item worked. Items such as tiller tamer, docking cleats, trailer hardware, mast crutches etc. It will help if everyone enters a description of the item in the subject area. I will start with a few...

Does anyone have any documentation on the Catalina official recommendations for the ideal trailer bunk and roller positions and sizes for the Capri 14.2? I have a Load Rite Lil Rider trailer. The rear bunks seem ok but I am wondering about the front roller. It is located about 2 and a half...

I trailer my boat and of all the tasks that need to be done to setup and take down the rigging, the furler is taking me too long (in my opinion). I am hoping someone has worked out a better way. After forestay is secured and with the Jib sheets still wrapped neatly from the last time I was out...

First time I went out I was alone and the wind was coming straight to shore. No dock shallow water etc. In any case I eventually made it out. Second time out I brought my wife same thing happened. Does anyone have a recommendation for a trolling motor? I have the factory motor mount on the...

Do you leave the Boom Kicker in place while sailing or is it just there to hold boom without the main sail attached? How/When/how much do you adjust the vang?

I pick up my first boat this Saturday. 1996 Capri 14.2 jib roller, boom kicker, Genoa sail (i was told) this is a large Jib that goes past the boom by about 3 feet at the foot. Glad I have the furler!. I got a little nervous when the owner stepped the mast! WOW that's way up there. I hope that I...
