Bleach bottle question, or: my brother hates sanding

[Mark Gudschinsky]

So anyone out there with experience with a capri 15' sailboat. It's about a 1978 for under $800.

Looks to be all there with rigging, sails, etc. and sitting on a nice galvanized boat trailer. There is a bit of fiberglass checking but that only seams cosmetic. My brother Steve has taken an interest in sailing but has seen our boats going together and has decided he has an aversion to sanding.

I sailed on one ... lots of fun. At least if its the one I'm thinking of ... a small daysailer made by Catalina boats.

Check the expensive stuff out ... like the sails. If the sails look pretty good it probably didn't have that much use. A new set of sails will run $400 or so, so its worth checking out first. Then make sure the mast isn't bunged up at the bottom (step), and that it hasn't been bent. Most everything else can be made or purchased easily enough.
