[Capri25] Capri 25 destroyed in Superstorm Sandy, stuff available!

[Ethan M. Garr]

Nightswimmer, my 1982 Capri 25 was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy along with
all of the 30 other boats stored in our yard at Raritan Yacht Club in Perth
Amboy, New Jersey.   All of the boats floated off of their jack stands in 8+
feet of storm surge.  They then crashed into each other and our lower
buildings (lockers, bathrooms, shops) reducing them to rubble.  The good
news is the club will rebuild, the bad news is my boat is literally in
pieces, and nothing on board was salvageable.  But I did have a few things
at home which I would like to offer for sale.  Please send me reasonable
offers (I can send more photos upon request):

 

1.       Full set of interior cushions, 4 inch foam covered in a dark green
Sunbrella fabric.  I made these about six years ago.  I am not an
upholsterer, and I am not claiming these are artfully crafted, but they fit
the boat nicely, they are really comfortable, and they will make your
interior look very nice.  There are five cushions to form the V-Berth.  This
means you can use your porta-potty without ripping apart your whole boat.
The center cushion has a notch to fit around the bulkhead post. There are 4
cushions for the settees, so again you can get to your storage compartments
without removing cushions.  These have lived in my storage room in my house
more than they have on the boat (only one full season on board); so they are
in reasonably good shape.  They have zippers so you can remove and wash the
covers, but the zippers are completely hidden from view when the cushions
are installed on the boat.  The zippers are not beautifully sewn in, but
nobody will see them.   

2.       Quantum Pentax Main - This is an excellent racing main, and it has
been used literally three or four times, probably less than 10 sailed miles!
I bought this main from a couple who had bought it from Quantum and used it
one time.  Unfortunately the gentleman became ill and was forced to leave
the sport.  I bought the sail, used it in on one Wednesday night race, and
lent the boat to a friend for a double handed race.  It has always been
rolled and it has never been flaked (it was even shipped to me rolled).  I t
has never lived on board or on the boom.  It had one mouse hole when I
bought it which I had professionally repaired by John Eggers sailmakers.
This is a race-ready sail.

3.       I lost three sails on board in the storm, but had a bunch of others
here at my house.  I have not had a chance to inventory them all, but I know
for a fact I have one Kevlar genoa which is in serviceable condition.  It
isn't crispy and new like the Quantum Main, but it certainly would be a good
practice jib.

4.       I definitely have a couple of Dacron mains, and I have a nice
Haarstick blade which is still race-able (in my opinion), so let me know
what you are looking for.

5.       I broke my headstay in the middle of last season and had a new one
built.  I used the boat three times after that.  So if you want a basically
brand-new headstay with a #5 track tuff-luff foil, this is your lucky day.  

 

Email me any questions at egarr at optonline.net

 

Thanks,

Ethan
