[Capri25] Capri 25 parts?

[Dan McNamara]

Odell,

This is a great idea.  It is good for all of us to have these things on had.  I also think that a mast section or two would also be a good idea, that way we don't miss most the season like Quickdraw.  John Koss will be having a mast section made this year.  He is also going to machine all the fittings himself.  He thinks he can get the mast section extruded for around $500 apiece plus his time to put the holes in they should be far less then what Quickdraw paid.  He also has the equipment to make and repair bow pulpits and stern rails.  Please include him in the bid process.  Having someone local with a Capri in his shop who can take care of fit issues is a bonus.  John Pearson also offered to store any masts, pulpits and rails... for our fleet. 

BTW,  is any one is doing bottom work this winter dry out your boat first.  We did not get Consensus dry enough last winter before we put on the new bottom.  John Koss has indoor heated storage available in Hopkins.

John Koss's email is  John Koss <jdkoss at hotmail.com> and phone is 612-363-2640.  Mornings are the best time to reach him.

Many of us need to order replacement hardware (e.g., pulpits, rails, stanchions, spars, etc.)  this winter.  As a fleet, we also have the need to retain a certain number of parts in our own inventory.  I'd like to find out how much demand is out there so we can perhaps generate some bulk orders.  I'd like to ask all of the Capri's to send a note and share their hardware purchase plans/needs (the ones that aren't secret). 

A good example of this is... Mark Hammit let some crazy Californians start his boat downwind on a windward leeward race.  The resulting bow pulpit damage is considerable, so we'll need to order a few more.  ...suicidal bird: you know we love you  ;-)

Let me know what you need, so we can try to save some cash.

Thanks,
OT
