$11k obo... Capri 25, with trailer.
shnool @ yahoo

About the boat - 7 coats captains spar on all the teak/wood.
2012 Epsails, 155, and mainsail.
Other sails (much older, some original) Mack sails, 130, 155, and 2 mains, as well as a tri-radial spinnaker.

3.5hp 2002 Johnson outboard.
2012 porta pottie (not used)
Recently recovered cushions.
2009 mainsail cover, and cabin cover (winches and tiller cover as well all blue - in like new condition).
Running rigging is about 3 years old.

Standing rigging supposed to be 5 years old.

Harken Medium traveler, and CB car newer (2009)
Complete bottom job 2012, including keel fairing measurements to class minimums. Finished with VC17m for freshwater.
Topsides painted with brightsides 2012, flame red (see forum)
Uniden Solara VHF, and shakespeare low profile stern rail mounted antenna
New SD card marine stereo/radio and VHF/FM switcher and speakers (with remote)

This boat sails well to its rating and has proven performance. I'll leave this post up, while I continue to do upgrades through the winter, come April, I'll remove the offer of sale, as once I start our racing series

Problems with the boat? Always room for improvement... Scuppers probably need replaced/reseal. Decks need repainted (dirty/need cleaning)... winches need a rebuild/regrease. Boat could use a 140 (which I'll likely order soon, and if I have the cash a new spin)... I'll be less likely to move on price if I get around to ordering one or both.

I am in NO hurry to sell, but I am looking at options for something faster/different. I have a few boats in mind...

Some pictures? Location East Stroudsburg, PA I can help with transport (some)

Here she is showing her cabin cover, trailer and such. Oh and looks can be deceiving, that pickup is a 2500, crew cab long bed (and that is a 5 foot high fence)...

C&C 32 Smith Mountain Lake Virginia

Nice boat! I've heard the 25 Catalina Capri screams! I'd like to sail on one someday.

We've been able to offer them very little more than they can get in their local club. I SHOULD however post it with them as well.

Just bumping my own thread.. Boat truly IS for sale. I've had 2 serious inquiries, one should be coming to see the boat in the next couple days... I may delay my haul-out, so I can provide a test-sail, otherwise though, 2nd week of Oct 2013, boat has to come out.
