Another new Capri 14.2 owner

Just got my boat this weekend. 1989 Capri 14.2. Never sailed but always wanted to. Hope to get it in the water soon. Have some members of a local sailing club offering to teach me the ropes so to speak. Looking forward to it. Anyone from Northern Indiana on the list? Jib is worn, anyone know of a good place to purchase sails?
 
Welcome Steve

Hello Steve, are you close to Elkhart, IN? Our club has 2 Capri 14.2s we sail on Eagle Lake in Southern MI. I would love to see 3 of us sailing together sometime.
 
I saw a set of one year old North racing sails on Craigslist about six months ago, that were less than a year old, that did not sell for his asking price of $500.00. I now wish I had at least talked to the guy, but too late now.
 
Steve:

Where are you at in Indiana? I am in Muncie, we have two Capri 14.2 at the Muncie Sailing club, and are out most weekends. We would love for their to be a third, makes racing a little easier.

Any questions or help you need let me know.

Hi Kent,

Racing!!! My boat hasn't hit water yet and you want to race! I need to get my sealegs first. :) I am just south of Elkhart.
 
Capri at Muncie

Hey Kent,
I sail Muncie twice a year with my West Wight Potter. Maybe I should drag my Capri 14.2 along some time.
 
Racing is the best way to get you sea legs...:) That's how I learned to sail my Capri, last year, problem is I was the only dingy against a bunch of Cruisers. It was fun betting them.

Sailorem. I will look for you at the next Potters weekend. Looks like it is scheduled for 10/16.
