Sailing the Capri

There is nothing more beautiful than taking a small sailboat out on a perfect day and going for a silent slice through the waters. The capri is a small 2 person sailboat, similar to a laser, built in the 1980's and recently restored by me. It has great characteristics, moves fast and has good stability. This is a sail on Church lake Nova Scotia in the early fall. This model of Capri is no longer made, but there are a few around. I had to do quite a bit of fibreglass restoration to get it fully operational, but it sails quite beautifully. It can take two people comfortably but three is a crowd. One adult and two kids works well two. There is only a mainsheet, no jib. Draft is about three feet with the keel.
