The Cape Dory Board

Do you have a main sail for your boat?

Didn't see any pictures of you flying one on the referred site; just a jib.

Looking to (eventually) trade up...

Thanks, Alan and I’d love to see that photo! My boat is the ‘K’ model - day sailer. No stowage under seats. This is why I’ve been looking for a motor with an integrated fuel tank. A 4.5 Johnson long shaft with the integrated fuel tank is what the prior owner had - but he wouldn’t sell it with the bo...

Thanks for your reply, Alan. Hard to imagine a 4-6 hp outboard causing a 2,000 lb. sailboat - with nearly half that weight below the waterline - to 'squat'. Even a 4-stroke in that range is only 60-75 lbs. I suppose anything's possible. I found a 4.5 long shaft (20") Johnson on craigslist nearb...

I'm finding a lot of 20" shaft lengths - but measurement from the top of the mounting bracket (stock) down 20 inches shows the cavitation plate barely under the waterline. Might be OK in calm water, but I'd be baring the prop every time I pass through a swell. Is there a recommended shaft-lengt...

Thank you, Pete!

Hello, all...I'm looking for someone to recommend a boom/tent cover for a Cape Dory Typhoon day sailer model. I just acquired one and I'd like to go 'first class' with everything...I plan on keeping and enjoying her for more than a season.

My bad; that's a Tohatsu 'Sail PRO' and you have to buy this year's model to get the 25" long shaft...though they (onlineoutboards.com) still sells the 2015 model which was only 20"...

New Typhoon owner and can't decide if I need a 20" or 25" long shaft...from direct measurement, it would seem to be the latter, yet You-Tube is full of videos of people sailing the Ty' with a 20" 4-stroke Yammie. A 6 hp Tohatsu Sailmaster would seem to be the only choice if I need a 2...

In the day sailer Ty, there's a hole in the cuddy roof for the mast which - unlike the weekender - is 'keel stepped'. This means the mast protrudes from the keel, through the roof of the open cuddy of the day sailer all the way up. A weather boot is a piece of rubber that form-fits around the mast a...

Looking for a master 'weather boot' for a Typhoon day sailer...anyone know of a source of such parts? Just acquired hull #99. Also interested in an extra-long-shaft engine in the 4-horse range.

Thanks to all in advance.

Nice boat...saw it on craigslist as well. I considered buying it, but it's probably too large for me to self-transport with my half-ton Chevy Avalanche Z71. I opted for a smaller, lighter Typhoon Senior since it'll mainly be my wife, my 10-year old son and myself sailing it, and I know I can tow it ...

Cathy/ Sea Runt , With regard to that initial posting, it was not a 'typo' on my part. I meant to address someone whom I thought used the 'avatar' Sea Runt because I thought that was the person who originally tried to sell me a Typhoon Day Sailer that - it turns out - had been badly damaged in a hur...

Sea Hunt,

I'd sent you a PM w.r.t. a particular boat.

Did you get it?
