I'm still looking for a Capri 22.
Looks like that's going to be a bit more expensive.

Laguna Windrose 18 Sailboat, sale or trade - $1200 (Corpus Christi
Marina)
image 1image 2image 3image 4image 5image 6image 7image 8image 9
Ready to sail, great condition classic 1974 micro yacht with a solid
hull and heavily reinforced. I sail her daily in the Corpus Christi
Bay, race, anchor out, cruise to Port Aransas, and have even taken her
45 miles into the Gulf in severe weather. Though I wouldn't recommend
the latter, the boat handled very well and will easily heave-to under
a triple-reefed main or trysail alone. If new to sailing, an
instructional sail can be provided.

*500 lb swing keel with lock-down bolt, self-righting, can be anchored
in 1 and a half feet of water with keel raised.

*Mast can be raised/lowered in minutes by 2 people

*Self-bailing cockpit with positive flotation due to large foam blocks
under cockpit and sealed in v-berth.

*Extra-large cabin sleeps 4 adults comfortably with plenty of room for
storage beneath v-berth and in cockpit lockers.

*Through-bolted hull to deck seam

*Average speed 4 to 5 knots, have reached 5.7 beating to windward and
6.2 on a broad reach.

*Can be easily moved by 2 rowing or with trolling motor in light air

Upkeep and modifications:

*Bottom job, Jan 2013, cleaned weekly by myself.
*New main birch bulkhead, twice as thick as original, tabbed and
bolted top and bottom
*Backing plates installed on most deck hardware
*Mast compression post added
*Jib tracks with cars
*All new turnbuckle screws
*New spreaders
*New mainsheet tackle and line and trackless traveller with cam cleats
*Spare main halyard block installed
*Topping lift
*Bilge pump
*Solar panel hard-wired to marine battery for LED lighted interior,
running lights and car outlet
*2 danforth anchors and 100 ft of anchor line
*New keel pivot bolt
*Horizontal axis self-steering windvane
*VHF radio with 12 volt charger
*12 volt PC computer with ATX power regulator and multiple 12 volt and
USB outputs, including all nautical and pilot charts for the north
Atlantic, GPS, WiFi and chart plotter. (LCD monitor functional for
watching TV/DVD's, but will need to be replaced since the VGA port has
a short).

Includes genoa and tracks, working jib, small jib and main. Running
and standing rigging in great condition.

Includes trailer--new lights, leaf springs, tires and bunk boards,
needs paint job. Trailer located just north of San Antonio--will bring
to Corpus when boat sells (if trailer is wanted).

Trailer and boat registered and titled.

Slip paid for through the end of December.

Willing to trade for travel trailer/camper or small fishing boat with
engine and trailer
