Hi,
First of all, I just received the 14.2 national association manual and I wanted to say thank you for a job well done. The manual is very well thought out and full of helpful information.
Now for my stupid newbie question: Are the parts and specs identified in the manual appropriate for all models of the 14.2? I recently purchased a first generation capri 14.2 (early 80s) and although the boat is in great condition, it has not been in the water for many years. I want to replace the shrouds, forestay, running rigging, and drain plug before setting sail for the first time, but before I buy the parts I want to make sure I'm ordering the right stuff.
Also, since this is an older boat, I was also wondering if any one out there knows of any other considerations I should address before taking her out?
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated!
