Launching the Capri is real easy at the boat ramp, but I found retrieving has been difficult at times especially when the fenders are submerged in dark water and you can't see where to put the boat.
I bought a 10' section of PVC, cut, glued, and capped the tubes. From inside cap to inside cap is about 73" ...it worked perfectly. I had my dad drive behind me and the tail lights were still visible.
I had to test it out by sailing in the Choctawhatchee Bay at Ft Walton Beach, FL... Wednesday and Friday of this week... maybe again today if the weather holds up. The wind was nearly perfect for easy sailing, I was cruising around 5-6 mph most of the time.
