The reason for have this site is to be able to communicate with each
other. Type a post on where you are located and how much you like or
dislike the Capri 25. I dont want to be the only one out here typing
messages IT YOUR SITE. If you have any tips for me ( A new sailor to
the Capri 25) give me some hints. I recently had a San Juan 24,
Great little boat. The San Juan points very well and what I have
read you want to play with the wind on the Capri 25. I also have
noted that there is a lot of adjusting on the main traveler? How do
you have yours set up?

I ahve had mine for two seasons now and still gettig to know it.
Traveller (for Chris's Benefit) is orignal but can play it reasonably
satisfactorily to keep boat on its feet. Will change it for a Harken
hoigh beam traveller. Not sure `abouta windward sheeting car - have
used them on other boats, may not be necessary here especially if
someone else runs main!
My biggest problem seems to be the bulkheads - starboard needs to be
replaced now. My rig tends to slacken and leeward shrouds become too
loose. This means I cannot point as I would like so only do well in
light air. the boat is fast then.
Can anyone tell me about cahngeing he bulkheads and whether
additional stiffening or bracing is a good idea?
