Could some one or a few of you who own Capri 25’s give me a history of the boat?
Who designed it, when it was designed, how many were made and anything else you feel is pertinent.
I am putting together the Mainsheet magazine pages and want to write about the Capri’s joining the association.
Please hurry as my deadline is looming.
Post you answers here or e-mail me.
Thank you.

Most Capri 25's were manufactured in 1980 and 1981. Other production runs were made in 1983 and 1988, Tough Cookie and a few others are from '83, the rest of the fleet are mostly '80s and '81s. The '86 and '88 models have flush windows, that's the only difference.
The boat was Designed By Frank Butler
Length Overall 24'-7'
Waterline Length 19'-2'
Beam 9'-2"
