The Cape Dory Board

Jeff, I removed the Perkins 4.108 from my CD 36 last Friday. I’m replacing it with a Beta 38. I hauled the boat out at Crown Marine in Deltaville. I spent a couple of days removing the electrical connections, the hoses and the engine mounts. The only parts of the engine that had to be removed were t...

At present I have a CD 10, a CD 14, 2 Typhoons and a CD 36, and I need to reduce my fleet.The CD 14 has been fully restored. The hull was epoxied and painted with a boot stripe. It has 2pair of oars and a trailer. I got a new Dacron sail from Schurr several years ago, but it has hardly been used. I ...

Fred, I am located in Hardyville, VA, and have a fully restored Typhoon Weekender for sale, a 1979 vintage hull number 1612. She is well equipped and has done well in the RRYC Typhoon Fleet. 2012 Ullman Loose footed main, 155% and jib. $6500. Contact me for full equipment list including a Honda 2hp ...

Cathy, et al, in the next several days I will post the line drawings in my possession.

I received the line drawings. Many thanks .

A 2 or 2.3 hp Honda long shaft, at 31lbs is more than adequate to propel a typhoon under power. At 31 lbs, rather than adding ballast to the boat, I remove the motor and the motor mount and store them under the cockpit.

If anyone has a set of line drawings for the Cape Dory open typhoon daysailer please email me a copy. We at RRYC are designing t-shirts for the 2014 Typhoon Nationals this June, and we would like to have line drawings for all 3 Typhoon models on the Regatta shirts. Thanks in advance for any help any...

Steve, I just had a Typhoon trailer fall apart and I would like to purchase your trailer. I'm located in Virginia. Please respond to crcarmichael@va.metrocast.net

Thanks,

Chuck Carmichael

I have a loose footed full batten main on GALATEA, our CD 36 and a loose footed long batten main on our Typhoon. With both mains it is fast and easy to adjust draft, although on the TY I added a 4:1 external out haul. The idea was taken from the Harken catalog,and it really works. Going to a full ba...

Typhoon Weekenders took 1st and 3rd in this years Classic Boat Rally, a race from Savannah to Charleston in the ICW. Actually the race was terminated at Edisto, SC due to gale force winds from tropical storm Andrea. My congratulations to John & Nancy Martin on finishing 3rd on KNOTTY BOY. They h...

John, I will see you at the SBC this spring. I will be trailering Creampuff down your way for the event. Although I will be sailing main & jib at the SBC, I've given the spinnaker concept some thought, since I sail one on my J-22. The best rigging guide available is the Harken Innovative Sailing...

Woody; I will soon be faxing you a registration for the CREAMPUFF, my Typhoon weekender. I read about the SBC in one of the nautical Mags, and it sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be trailoring her down from Hardiville, VA on the shores of the beautiful Piankatank River wher I sailed her yesterday. Chu...

I'm in the process of restoring a Ty. I am replacing the plastic coach roof tracks with aluminum with cars. You are welcome to the plastic tracks and fairleads for the cost of shipping, or if you're in the Deltaville, VA area you can pick them up. Other than the mounting holes they have not been dri...
