Hello All, Just purchased a 1987 Capri 14.2, and am figuring out some things. It's my second sailboat of about this size. The first was a Rinker 16 with main and jib. That was fourteen years ago. First question. What is the cunningham for? There is a hole at the top of the boom where it slides into the mast, and at the bottom as well. Is the top one for the cunningham? What's the other one for at the bottom? Is it only the tension of the mainsail that supports the boom at the mast. (Can't be!) I do have the line running from the top of the mast to the outboard end of the boom. I'm most interested in making this a safe sail. I ordered the Jiffy reef kit from sailrite, and want to get a roller furler for the jib. Does the roller furler operate electrically, or coiled spring? I also need to take up some slack in the shrouds to tune the mast to the proper rake and tighten things up. The shrouds have these white sleeves over them at the base to protect against abrasion of the jib leads, and the crew. Do these slide up? I've given it a token try, but don't like to force things if I don't know what I'm doing. And whoever owned the boat before me stuffed some wood shims just in the forepeak at the joint of the centerboard trunk. Ever hear of someone doing this? And for what? I called the guy, but don't get an answer on his cell. He moved to Canada. Also, what about putting some hardware on the hull for tying off and/or dropping an anchor. What do I do, just screw into the fibreglass with a wood screw after I pre-drill, or go through with a toggle bolt? (I know, it sounds kind of stupid, but there it is.) Glad to get back on the water?
