I recently bought a 1991 Capri 16, without knowing much about it, except
that I thought it was the right size and price. I have been really
pleasantly impressed at how excellent are both the construction and
sailing qualities. So,... I think he is right about Catalina products,
wrong about other products, many of which are good also, and I agree
with you about the look, which I don't like either. The sailing
qualities keep me from dumping the boat though.
