SOLD...

Received many inquiries and have sold the boat to a very discerning and extremely erudite gentleman from Georgia. Must have priced it too low. Oh well, his gain. Lindsay and I are moving back up to the Waterlily, a 1980 CD 27 we purchased in 2004 from her original owner. Had the Waterlily not become...

Leaking Spartan opening ports

Four days of heavy rain in Tampa Bay area reveal that my ports are not so well sealed. Opening ports in the saloon of my Typhoon Senior are in need of some work. Does this require that the entire port be rebedded? It's not flooding, just obvious and enough to be annoying. Thanks.

Senior weather helm

Still learning the eccentricities of our Typhoon Senior. My experience is that the weather helm can be severe, but I'm sure it's because of too much sail or a puff. I just adjust to it.

History of my boat

Just purchased a 1985 Typhoon Senior, hull number 14. I bought it from at least the third owner, who had her for about 9 months. She's been in Sarasota/Bradenton, Madeira Beach, and now St. Petersburg, Fl. Any knowledge of her or previous owners is appreciated. Thanks.
