It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a vertical transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.
The Capri is five inches shorter on deck, three feet shorter on the waterline, and weighs almost 1,400 pounds less than the Catalina, so we suppose you could call her a Catalina "Lite," especially since her towing weight is over a ton less, so you can use a smaller, lighter towing vehicle on the highway.
Needless to say, part of her weight loss is accomplished by the omission of cabin furniture and other niceties like the Catalina's on-deck anchor locker.
Other weight saving is achieved by eliminating 600 pounds of ballast, and by using a then-new material, Coremat, to replace some of the hull and deck laminate.
"[3] Ben Towery, described buying and racing a Capri 25 in Utah for Sailing World in 2019, calling it "a sleek 1980s design, a decent interior and a wide deck".
