Plus they make some darned pretty sails! I proudly purchased, 155, mainsail, and 135 from them. They performed great.

Which sails are those John? Anyone know what the different types are with regards to the C/A and C/B for the Aramid?

My E/P sails are of the older type. Not sure of the differences now. Call Harry and ask him questions. He will not steer you wrong

I'll second, call and talk to Harry. He was pretty awesome helping me pick out what would work well for me, and how I raced.

Things that lead me to what I chose, were, I usually sailed short handed (2 or 3 tops), we typically have light air, under 10 knots of breeze for most our races... We race Portsmouth, not PHRF, and our "mixed" fleet is mostly faster (rated) boats than the Capri... J/24, J22, S2 7.9, and B25.

Yes I finished before many of the above with those sails, and corrected over them most times when I didn't. Great fun! Just have to sail correctly about 75% of the time. I can only imagine what would have happened if I had also purchased a spinnaker.

He's also my first call for sails this season for my S2 for the record. Cause I know he's been working with the S2 fleet at WYC.

I looked for the picture of the receipt, to see if I could ascertain exactly what I ordered. I can't find the picture of the receipt.
I still have his quote though, and it was for a
"135% % Aramid Load Path #2 Genoa" for my number 2, and it matched my existing 155, and main... You may be able to ask to match what I had by my sail number 278, or last name Schramm.

here is a picture of the 135 in use:

By the way, I found that the 135, provided enough power at about 8 knots of wind, that sailing short handed, you almost couldn't tell the difference in speed... at 10-12 knots with just 2 of us aboard, my 135 was equal or slightly better a choice than the 155, even with wind shadows and gusts. That is as long as you popped the chute at anything greater than 100 degrees of wind. The edgy part was 90 to 110 degrees... if the leg of your race was in that AWA, you kind of sucked if you didn't have the 155, even at 8-12 knots.

Just my observations, again sailing short handed.

Very impressive performance AND sweet looking to boot! Makes my C25 look lethargic!

No longer my boat, a bitter-sweet decision for me for sure. I put a lot of time into the boat (and money). I hope the new owner loves it as much as I did.
I am, however, quite impressed with my S2. That being said the S2 is a much more "reserved" boat, despite being technically faster. I never feel like I'm on the edge as much as the Capri had me feel at times. The Capri was much more "light air" oriented. So sailing it in 25-30 knots of wind was a monumental accomplishment. Sailing the S2 in the same was like, OK, shift down to the number 3, tuck a reef in, and go get a beer, we'll stay at 20 degrees of heel, but it'll be stable enough for me to put the tiller pilot on, and go forward. The Capri you'd be looking for a wet suit.
