Description
The Capri 15 is a sailing dinghy designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and built by Canadian Sailcraft starting in 1968, currently offered by Catalina. It is primarily constructed from fiberglass, making it durable and low maintenance. The boat features a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder, and a centerboard keel, which allows for versatility in various sailing conditions. The Capri 15 has an overall length of 14.67 feet (4.47 meters) and a displacement of 250 lbs. (113 kg), with a draft of 3.83 feet (1.17 meters) when the centerboard is down and 0.58 feet (0.18 meters) when it is up.
The Capri 15 is designed for both racing and recreational sailing. It is known for its lively performance, particularly in moderate winds. The boat can plane effectively, making it exciting to sail, especially for those who enjoy a bit of speed. However, it requires active participation from the crew to maintain balance and control, which can be challenging for beginners.
