<DIV><FONT size=4>I bought a 1980 Capri 25 a few years
ago. I live and race in Connecticut, but I need your
advice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>My hull is full of water. When I had my boat weighed it
was 3272 pounds without motor, sails & gear aboard. So I think it is
at least 500 pounds overweight, probably more. I did well with the two
boats I raced before, but this boat is not competitive. I think its
because the boat is overweight. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I<FONT size=4> would greatly appreciate any advice on how I
can get on how to get the water out of the hull.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
