I'm new to the Capri and was given a very beat-up old one (1980's vintage I suspect). I am fairly sure is is a Mod 1 based on other posts.
The rigging has obviously suffered some makeshift repairs so I'm not sure what all is missing. In particular, the boat is missing a boom vang. I have sailed this boat a half dozen times now and really enjoy it. However, in strong winds the boom bounces up and down like crazy. I want to install a functional boom vang, but not spend much money doing so. The boom has two holes where screws were torn out. The mast has the standard eyelet securely in place. 1.) What must I do to install one? 2.) How much money would this cost in parts? 3.) Does anyone have a picture of a one properly set-up? Thanks, Mike (Florida)
