Hey Lance, you got a trailer for the Capri? If so, why don't you (or any one
else, for that matter, Tim Ford) come down to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras
regatta next year. I'll be the regatta chair at NOYC and I'll take good care of
you. There's plenty of stuff to amuse the family and a right fine regatta
thrown in!

Thanks Mark. The racing on Lake Lanier, while considered "Beer can,"
is tough as we have many national champions and competitors here. Atlanta is
also the home of LayLine and Gill North America so we see some interesting and
very competitive sailors here.
With that in mind, I guess I'll start with the 220! That VC Performance
is hard stuff though.

Your choose of start and finish grit depends on how the paint was
applied (start) and how fast you want to go (finish)
If the paint was brushed on and you just do "beer can" races, you can
start with 100 and finish with 220. If some NOOD regattas or maybe the Capri
nats are in your future and the paint was sprayed, you might want to start with
220 and finish (after 1000) with a fine "scotch bright" pad. At any rate you
will want to do the sanding wet.

Hey all,
I have a question for my Capri 25; but, since it is generic
to bottoms, I figured this band of briggands and louts might be able to answer
it for me.
I have just finished painting the bottom with VC Performance.
What grit of sandpaper should I start and then with what grit should I finish?
Cheers!
