Been looking on the web for Capri data (specifically the 30), but
really dont find much of any. I recently got a Capri 30....needs
some work. Here's my to do list so far:

Rebed everything, looks like a rainforest inside. I think the deck
is foam cored, so I'll be using epoxy to fill the holes rather than
polyester.

Figure out how to seal the mast through deck fitting.

Rewire the lights....none except the nav lights work.

replace the forward most bulkhead....someone screwed a bracket to it
and pulled it free from the tabs....doh

basically, once I get the beast watertight (rain water) I'll be able
to work on making it look good.

get the mold out!

Sails and motor good...maybe replace the #1 for racing.

Now that really makes me laugh!! I knew that name was pretty cool!
I'm thinking a guitar playing lobster logo. :)

Turns out that much of my water is coming from around the
mast......duh, the missing mast boot might have something to do with
that (I've never had a keel stepped mast before). Duct tape to the
rescue (at least for now). I'm looking at spartight with a vinyl
boot to fix this long term.

I'm hoping they also don't play the B-52's 'rock lobster' as a theme
song.......

We have been thinking of a new name for our Capri too. The name on
the boat now is Cele and I guess it is pronounced Chile but it will
be gone soon. we were thinking of Volare after the song but that may
not last. Spoiled rotten is more like it. I hope you find the leak
in the mast. if oyu have some photos add them into the photos
section to the left, I know that you will be adding a site but if
you have them post them. photos are worth a thousnd words and this
would give us a good idea what you are up agenst. as for the work on
the deck,Catalina used a foam core and using epoxy the gelcoat will
not bond right. it might last some years but it will require a
polyester resin to have a good bond. I have done some reserch in the
rubber molding of the nonskid, my boat is in the files section under
hull 17 and you can see what i am up agenst in the spring. keep on
posting, I am looking forward to watching the woork in progress

I'll post some of the 'work' photos, plus the interior once I take
some.....it gets dark early these days.

As for the polyester, I have not tested it on the core of this boat
myself, but I have read in other posts and websites that foam core
will dissolve in polyester resin, leaving a void worse than you are
trying to fix....beware. :) I will test it in the spring and let
you know what happens.

If you rename your boat, don't forget the ceremony...or bad juju will
be upon you! http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/rename.htm

I saw your crushed bow....it looks like it can be fixed pretty easily.

judging from one of the photos, the construction is just like on my
30. The deck overlaps the hull like a lid and is glued on and
screwed from under the rubrail.
