The Catalina Capri 14.2 is an excellent sport sailboat and daysailer oriented toward family and youth use.  This popular class benefits from its large production volume over many years, and the fact that its manufacturer is still in business. Parts continue to be available from the manufacturer and Catalina Direct.

 

This boat was built in 1992, but it looks a whole lot newer.  In fact it has not been sailed since 2008 and the sails, covers and spars were stored inside all that time!  It is a fresh-water boat, and has been very well cared for..   Unlike many Capri 14.2’s, this boat is equipped with a roller furling jib – a convenient and costly option.

 

Still in production, today a new Capri 14.2 sells for over $11,000!

 

 

Here are some comments from a review that was written about this boat:

​

The boat was designed by Ted Carpentier and Frank Butler of Catalina Yachts.  Catalina derived the boat from the Omega 14 produced by Frank Butler’s Coronado Yachts prior to the formation of Catalina Yachts.  After the formation of Catalina Yachts, the Omega 14 design was modified by adding a foredeck and a cuddy beneath the foredeck to create the Capri 14.2.  Since 1983, over 5,200 Catalina 14.2s have been built.  

​

While Catalina 14.2s are frequently used for family cruising, the boat can provide an exhilarating sailing experience due to its semi-planing hull and ample sail area.  As a family sport boat and day sailer, the Catalina 14.2 is primarily composed of a large cockpit that easily holds 4 adults.  One owner reports sailing inland lakes and bays of the Outer Banks in the eastern U.S. with his wife and 3 children aboard, and with the cuddy and areas beneath the cockpit seats laden with camping supplies.  Forward of the dominant cockpit, a large cuddy cabin provides storage for day sail, picnic and camping supplies, batteries, and emergency equipment

​

As appropriate with a family sport boat or day sailer, all control lines are easily accessible from the cockpit.  The mainsheet is managed from a stout spring-mounted pivoting block and jam cleat in the center of the cockpit.  Jib sheets are managed from jam cleats on the side decks.  The side decks also include a jib car track and cars that allow precise adjustment of jib sheeting angle.
