Thank you for posting the pictures! I really enjoyed looking at them.

I AM confused about one thing though - the tack of your mainsail connects to the gooseneck with that hook, right? But then it appears that your gooseneck is bolted to the mast. So how do you downhaul? I didn't see any provision for that. Thanks in advance for your reply, and congratulations on a beautiful boat. :)

His cunningham is lying on the deck at the base of the mast in one of the pictures.

The Boom uses a fixed goosneck that bolts to the mast with 6 bolts or screws. There is a tack for the foot of the sale, that is between the boom and mast attached to the gooseneck, there is a cunningham hook, as well as a cunningham cringe in the sail, this allows me to adjust the shape of the luff of the sail. there are two reefing hooks also on the gooseneck, I have a single reefing line hookup on the end of the boom , So all you have to do is relaese the main halyard, pull on the reefing line put the reefing cringe in the reffing hook and reajust the tention on the halyard. All of this can be done in 45 seconds.

Great shots Chris!

The short answer to Jaime's question is that there is no downhaul on the Capri. The Cunningham and halyard control luff tension. Those hooks are for reefing.

When I get a little time I will post photos of all the glass work and re-painting I did. 6 to 7 months worth of work that I did to the boat.
