About the CAPRICE 15

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Caprice 15 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Cutherbertson & Cassian and built by Canadian Sailcraft Co. in 1968. With a displacement of 250.0 lb and a length overall of 14.67 ft, it represents a lightweight, trailerable design from the late 1960s.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for novice sailors, single-handers, or couples seeking a low-maintenance, trailerable day sailor for protected coastal waters. Its small size and light displacement make it ideal for easy transport and launching.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 250.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.84, the Caprice 15 is not designed for offshore or bluewater cruising and is strictly limited to protected coastal and inland waters.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Laser and other 14-15 foot trailerable sloops from the late 1960s that prioritize ease of handling and transport over offshore capability. These designs share similar fractional rig configurations and light displacement characteristics.
