I currently own a 1999 Catalina Capri 14.2 . Believe it or not, I have also been looking for a P165. As of last week I almost went to North Carolina to buy this one> 2006 Precision Boat Works 165 sailboat for sale in North Carolina
I love my Catalina Capri 14.2, but I would love to have...
Hello Ryan,
I am an owner of a 1999 Catalina Capri 14.2 . Below you can see two pictures. For the first picture, look at the upper right and you will see the bottom of the mast. For the second picture, that is what the top of my mast looks like.
Happy to answer questions!

I just sold the last bracket a week ago. Will be making more ASAP with a few modifications that I see fit. I will post a picture of the new bracket on this thread once I make more. Ill also add a email you can use to contact me if you are interested in purchasing one. For now, standby.
I got my 1998 hull#4680 capri 14.2 late fall/early winter. Never sailed it yet. Ive seen a lot of posts regarding flotation and turtling. I am perfecting a baby bob bracket that bolts right on to my mast. Currently making my 4th version. The bracket uses the bolt on top of the mast that is for...
Glad to know its not just me with the "issue". Thanks. Maybe Ill modify the bracket somehow to allow more travel and post my modification on this forum.

James thank you for the tips! I am the proud owner of this boat (I'm 17 btw and I am on my 3rd sailboat!). I will not get a shakedown cruise in until the snow goes away here in Michigan(Febuary/March). This is my first boat with a roller furling jib and I appreciate all of your input and advice!
Thanks will try. Just acquired this boat so it scared me when I rigged it for the 1st time in years and saw the creases. Boat is from 1998 and last time rigged/sailed was 2014.
What would you guys do to get these creases out of my jib? I tried to furl the jib up tight without creases but the sail still kept the creases...
(Dont worry, I will not be ironing the sail)

I ended up calling catalina, and ordering a new set. I can get both parts for both sides and shipping to my front door for under $20. They recommended to break the current one with a screw driver and chisel.
