The Caprice was the world’s first pocket cruiser to have fully ballasted bilge keels. She is fast, manoeuvreable and seaworthy, initially tender but definitely un-capsizeable. Either two or three berths can be accommodated in her cabin. The Caprice II was a definite advance providing a more powerful vessel owing to her twin asymmetric hydrofoil bilge keels. Caprices have been no slouches when it comes to long distance cruising with a mark I having circumnavigated (see; Shrimpy by Shane Acton) and many mark II’s crossing the Atlantic. Equally at home cruising local waters.
