Anyone know this boat?? 91 Capri 26

[Michael]

I am in the market for a sail craft for the family to use to learn sailing. I have some sailing experience. In my boat search I came across a Capri 26 that looks interesting. It has a sail drive outboard (8 hp), upgraded traveler, auto helm, shore power, lazy jacks, and an array of electronics. I would appreciate any feed back on how this boat sails. Any maintenance concerns?Thanks so much,Michael ~~~~~~~~~~__/)~~~~~~~waterline28@yahoo.com

My fellow sailor has one.

I have a buddy that has owned the Capri 26 for about 5 years.He and his wife love the boat.It is fairly easy to trailer and it quite roomy for a 26 footer.(a lot of beam).3 of us can step the mast, and she sails well.A little bit tender, but I can see nothing that would prevent anyone from not loving this boat.All running rigging is nicely laid out and the boat looks gorgeous in the water. His is a wing keel. I don't think you could go wrong with the boat. I have owned 2 Catalina's and love them both.GO AND DO IT! (Survey first???)
