Racing the Capri 22

[keithg]

What are a few of the best resources to consult for racing the Capri 22 (fin keel, tall rig). Also I don't have a cunningham. What's the best purchase ratio to use and is there a diagram for installation/use available?

North Sails has quite a lot of information for Capri 22 on their web site and also has at least two sail maker advisors available by telephone. Here is the website address: http://www.onedesign.com/tabid/24115/Default.aspx

Cunningham doesn't need to be very strong as loads are light to pull the main sailcloth tight.

I have a J hook with a block that hooks into the grommet on the main above the boom. One end ties off at another block attached to the mast boot 'eye', goes up to the J-hook block, back down through the block where the line starts and through a turning block on the cabintop hatch trim, back to a clutch.

See the attached pic for details.
