Most likely it was a Capri-22 because of the HUGE cockpit compared to the C-22 for day sailing on Mission Bay. The swing keels are a good design, but they need to be maintained, and it doesn't take long to get out of hand in a saltwater environment. Unfortunately, I believe too many swing keeled versions suffer from the lack of keel maintenance. The big advantage of a swing keel is the ease of trailering, to nothing of usually better pointing. Most of the time a swing keeled boat doesn't need the trailer tongue extension used for launching or recovering, where our boat with the wing keel always requires the tongue to be extended, and a fixed keel version can be a nightmare at the ramp,(for me anyway).
Are you talking about the "Space Coast Regatta, March 12-13", probably not, I need to get my boat back to Florida, repaired, and break-in a new outboard. We hope to do some cruising on the gulf side in March and start exploring our new cruising areas.
The wife and I keep saying we're gonna come check that place out someday. Just leave Daydream at home, drive down, and day sail their boats - while sleeping on a nice comfy bed in an air conditioned room every night. Nice!
