Capri 22 vs. Catalina 22
The Capri 22 is more for racing and performance, whereas the Catalina 22's primary mission is bay cruising. The Capri 22 isn't the fastest racer, but I think it is the best bang for the buck.Spinnaker PHRF rating for the Capri 222 is approx. 200-220, whereas it is around 260-280 for the Catalina...Thus the Capri 22 is approx. 60 seconds a mile faster than the Catalina 22. Also, the Capri 22 is rigged like a J/24 one-design racer (spinnaker PHRF around 175), whereas the Catalina 22 is more "family friendly". Note for example the location of the mainsheet and traveler.
