The owner bought this boat in 2010
General condition and any additional information
This is a very nice, well maintained, upgraded and customized Capri 26 worth your review. Buyer and Seller to split title/escrow fees of approximately $500. Slip/moorage not included.
Standard features
The Capri 26 is about the biggest sailboat that can be towed on a trailer by a midsize pickup (I use an F-150). It is 262 LOA, with nearly a 10 feet beam, so the cabin feels to me like a bigger boat. This particular boat has a fin keel (410 draft) and an 11 HP inboard diesel (Universal M2-12) that sips about .33 gallons per hour. This boat also has a Raymarine auto-tiller, Raymarine ST40 Bidata (depth and knot log) meter, a stereo system with wireless remote, a bimini cover (directly mounted to the pushpit), and a complete set of cockpit cushions.
Extra gear included
Also included is a triple axle trailer with new tires 2024, new surge brake system 2024, an extender for launching and retrieving, and a 12V power winch and A-frame assembly for raising/lowering the mast.
Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
The mainsheet rigging was altered to allow for a future dodger if desired. You can find standard information on-line about the boat, and so I will only list here the upgrades I have installed over the past 14 years I have owned it, most upgrades being completed in 2019:
Complete rewiring of electrical system(120V and 12V) New 120 V main electrical panel Battery voltage meter Promariner ProSport 20 battery charger Solar battery charging system Formica countertops, galley and head Hot and cold water pressure plumbing system Deeper stainless steel galley sink and faucet 2 burner propane stove Propane leak detector Automatic bilge pump system Head and head faucet Port and Starboard teak siding and shelving, wine bottle holder, galley counter extension. V berth bed configuration Ceiling mounted teak wine glass holder Teak storage drawer beneath top step Stainless steel tubing supports for solar panels, and for improved access via swimstep Teak cockpit corner perch seats Cockpit storage niche/space w/12V plugs Temp/voltage/fuel/hours engine gauges Boom Kicker boom support
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Wing/shoal draft:3.42’/1.05m.
