FWIW, I noticed that this user, skogen1, has a keel model.
Thanks ed. Got your reply.
Hope someone has a Keel model and can reply.
Best SF
I have a 14.2k and am very happy with its performance. It has always been stored out of the water, and has been lightly sailed. It's got a full battened main and a roller furling jib, both in good condition. I even sailed a circle around an owner of a supposedly high performance boat (lightning?) a few years back. While we talked within about 50 feet of each other, he complained about no wind and I just slowly circled him. He never even noticed!
The boat is great in light air and in light conditions will go to weather better than many 30 foot monos. I used to get a kick out of seeing a 35 footer sail by so I'd launch the boat to chase them in Lake Washington (Seattle). After a couple of miles, I'd pass them, so I returned to the dock.
One day I decided to see what the boat would do in heavy weather so I took it out in 20 knots.
I did my best to pretend to be be a total idiot as if I didn't know anything about a sailboat.
It sailed great and when I decided to go hard on the wind, it took off like a shot with some weather helm. It then heeled over with more helm, and a bit of water slopped over the leeward stern rail. The boat rounded up a bit, took off again and the water drained. This action repeated itself. It's totally uncapsizable and fun to sail in all conditions.
I'm now on a salt water canal and have a TON of tidal current outside the canal so I've only sailed the boat a couple of times since the move. As my Capri is only an auxiliary boat for me, it's now for sale. My big boat is a Dragonfly 1000 trimaran.
