Is Drawing 4 of my Handbook (no date on the drawing, but most pages of the Handbook are marked 1992) still valid for measuring main and jib? The drawing label includes "Capri Sailboats, 21200 Victory Blvd., Woodland Hills. CA; and O.D. Rules Sail Plans. Would have been nice to have had a date on the drawing, but it doesn't. I ask this question because I thought that the used boat that I purchased a few years ago had racing sails, but when we measured it this week, all its measurements were a few inches short of those given in drawing 4.
We found on-line in the Capri 14.or page 1 of 4, labeled "The Design", that the specs for Standard Sail Area is 114 sq. ft., and for Racing Sail Area is 119 sq. ft. Then in a mimeographed copy of a Capri 14.2 manual "First Edition 6-22-88 Second Edition 2-9-90", the sail area is said to be 122 sq. ft. I'm confused!
If my existing sails are indeed smaller than others racing in the Capri 14.2 National Association, then it is time for me to get new sails, but I'd sure like them to be "legal" and competetive. Dick K. Tempe, AZ
