I had gone to Catalina owners yesterday and looked at the list of
owners on the site. Felling the need to get in contact with them, I
emailed them all. Telling them about the web site. I recieved an
email last night from a man named lets say "Bill". It was very
interesting read. He sleeps on his Capri because of his snoring
keeps the family up. He had bought the boat last year for a low
price and is in the process of fixing her up. He has little sailing
experence and has been sleeping on the Capri, Yes I said that again
Sleeping on the Capri. I had only thought about the Capri being a
daysailor if even that. Well I just have to say, "Bill" if you are
reading this "I just want to say you are doing what most of us dream
about, Living aboard your own boat". He told me he was not going to
join the group, for what reasons It really doesn't matter. I wish
him the best, and would really like to hear more about the
conditions of sleeping on the Capri 25. I wish you all the best for
this season have a wonderful Christamas and New Year.

Well Tristan Jones crossed the Atlantic in his 23 foot Dart among
going many other places.

I think of my Capri more as a weekender than a daysailor. I suppose
it's a matter of perspective. Myself, I could easily live alone in my
Capri, depending on the location and nearby facilities. It isn't
something I want to do, but it certainly is doable.

A guy by the name of Fishmeal has a site dedicated to the Merit 25 http://www.well.com/user/pk/M25.html (a boat similar to the Capri 25 but with a 8' beam) he raced it to Hawaii and sailed it back solo. A very interesting read if you have the chance.
