Looking to Race

Hello Everyone,

Myself and my wife would like to start racing 14.2's in Mission Bay San Diego. The question is should we buy a new boat or are there used boats that are race ready that are for sale.

Thank you for your help

Racing on Mission Bay

I'd suggest you go by MBYC and post a "wanted ad" on the bulletin board. (And check if there any for sale as well.) Some boats are race-ready, some aren't, but the tuning process is easy, and any of us in the fleet like myself or Tom Laube can help you do that. An old $1000 boat can be as competitive as a late model one for $3,000 or more, it all depends on condition.

The tricky part is race sails. Some used Capris have good racing sails, others don't. If not, you can get a used set for $250-500, depending on age and condition. Figure on about $1000 for a new set. (If so, go with a SD loft, like Scott, North or Quantum.)

Good luck!

PS - When you get to the MBYC office, ask them for my phone number and call me for more advice.
