<DIV><SPAN class=077040716-28052004><FONT face=Arial color=#ff0000 size=2>Great
stuff thanks. I will be racing against J24s, S2 7.9 and a range of boats down to
the 140 range. You sailed on Tom Mackin's boat. Not much grass or
weeds here. I have sailed lots of J24s and there are lots of variables with the
rig. From what I have read, the Capri is not a bad with the mast head
rig. What do people do in changing conditions?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I do not have sails but would gladly provide advise on
racing the boat. Since you will be racing PHRF, who is your competition?
J24, Merits, J22, Sonar? One of the issues with the Capri 25 is that most
people try to beat to close to the wind. Cracking off of close hulled by 2
degrees will often improve the speed by up to one knot. Sail the boat flat (Ok
I have a hard time with it perfectly flat, but the heel should not exceed 10
degrees). I have only sailed in Charleston once (the name of the boat was
Cheers with Tom and Jerry graphics), is there any vegetation that the
keel may pickup? If so you will need to learn the art of scraping during
the race (we get lots of practice on Lake Minnetonka due to Eurasian Milfoil).
Prebend in the mast is a must in heavy air. Speaking of heavy air... Be
prepared to blow the main if the helm loads up in a puff. I have witnessed
auto-tacks and spins from boats that were not prepared. If the boat has the
original traveler and car the traveler is useless in heavy air. Personally I
like to work the main while driving and the original traveler configuration
simply sucks. I have a 6:1 windward sheeting Harken configuration, a 4:1 will
do (I have used both), but the 6:1 is great when it is blowing 25+. I would
also recommend beefing up the traveler by mounting it on a solid wood board or
aluminum bar. In heavy air the pressure transfer from the main sheet will flex
the traveler the wood board of aluminum eliminates the flex. Last
recommendation. Move the backstay adjustment forward. In our one design fleet
the split back stay is required. However almost all of the boats have run two
control lines forward in the cockpit near the traveler so that all you have to
do is reach down reguardless of which tack you are on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=448585514-28052004><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>I
just acquired a Capri 25 for our sailing school and to do some local PHRF
racing. I hope to get a fleet going in Charleston, SC, but I need to make a
good impression in the fleet so the boat becomes attractive for one design and
PHRF growth. I am now looking for some reasonable sails to get me
started. New sails are not in the budget right now, but if anyone has some
regatta sails that still have some life that are for sale, please let me know.
I read the tuning guides you have on line, but any tips or feedback would be
greatly appreciated.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
