Hello all, I’m a pretty new sailor interested in buying a Capri 22 to race in a small one design fleet in Minnesota. Planning to look at a 96 model for under $6k.
I believe it has been on Superior most of its life, original sails. Some small updates. At that price, I know I’ll need to do maintenance and probably buy lots of expensive things to make it competitive, starting with sails, but first I need to buy the boat.
wing keel, standard rig, 5 hp Honda, older working trailer
What should I look for? What’s good to see, what’s bad? Should I get a marine survey? Or just have an old sea dog come with me and look for warning signs?
thanks in advance!
