[quote=rehmbo]My $0.02:
The Capricorn is a great boat. It seems to be the starting point for 2nd generation F18s and there is only a few small differences between it and the C2 (its successor). This boat is a weapon upwind, and very few would notice the difference downwind where the C2s extra hull volume helps a tad. AHPC has a great reputation for quality build and components. Support in N America is good as well - getting parts is not generally a problem.
It apparently had its bottom redone, so a couple of things I'd inquire about is 1) why did it get redone, and 2) weight. Close to minimum of 130kg is ideal. I wouldn't get stuck on weight though unless your planning to win worlds. Its been sailed in salt water, so corrosion is something to look at as well. Seller mentions rinsing in fresh water, but you can never get all the salt out. Id' also check for stress cracks around dagger wells and side stay anchors. Little ones aren't usually a problem, but bigger ones...
Asking price is not always selling price, but looking at the description of what is included, it looks like a pretty good buy.
Good Luck![/quote]
