The Cape Dory Board

Pete, I have some photos which I took on my last travel adventure. The plans I have were done specifically for the Alberg 30. I wanted to be able to move her at will as well as have a safe and secure cradle for her while in storage. All has worked out as planned. Contact me with your e-mail and phon...

Hello all, I have added some more photos to the Photobucket link. http://s32.photobucket.com/user/crufone/library/ This is a very nice boat aside from the deck re coring needs. You won't need to purchase new sails for ten years and the Trailer will last you a lifetime. Call with your offers 1.231.88...

# 276, Would you contact me via telephone so we can discuss your re-coring project? I haven't had any response from this Web Site with interest in the Typhoon. Perhaps folks are a bit put off by the re-coring which is needed. I have enough 3/8" balsa and Cousa (R) board to re-core everything. I...

Hello # 276, Did you do the work from above or below? I was given the advice to cut the top deck off remove the balsa and then shore up the interior glass surface and do the re-coring. Several owners have done this work. While it is not rocket science it is time consuming. Once you know where all th...

I have an Alberg 30 which is 9,000# plus about 2,800 for the trailer. This I tow with a 2001 2WD F250 7.3 Diesel. Increased the size of the truck tires to 265 x 16. Air bags on all four corners. Trailer is tandem 6K axles with four wheel electric brakes. Use a trunion with 2-5/16" ball and tors...

Please use the link in the second response. I messed up the first one. Have been two hours trying to figure this out, posting photos. I can add more if you have interest. Hello, I am going to attempt to attach some photos of this Weekender. They should illustrate a very solid, fully galvanized, floa...

Hello,
I am trying again to attach the link to my photobucket album.
Here's a link to that album.

Hello, I am going to attempt to attach some photos of this Weekender. They should illustrate a very solid, fully galvanized, float off trailer and the condition of the Typhoon. The sails as described earlier are new or nearly new. I am interested in finding Sly Fox a new home. She can be sailed in h...

Hello,
I saved a draft but now it is gone. Hopefully these photos will come thru. If I can find my draft I will repost it or compose another.
Thank you,

Alan, You are correct on most points. This will be a labor of Love for someone to restore back to better than original glory. These boats are deserving of preservation and continued use. A good sailing boat never goes out of fashion. This is a good original boat with all the original features intact...

Alan, Thanks for the reply. You are correct and I mistyped the balsa core thickness, it is 3/8". I was planning to re-core the entire deck and have enough material for that. I figured that once you begin why not do the entire boat? I was planning on using Cousa Board anywhere there was to be an...

Hello, I have a 1971, Hull# 161 Typhoon Weekender which I am considering for sale. I have had the boat for about 9 years. Sailing mostly in Florida. The boat on it's trailer is now in Arcadia, Michigan. This might be considered a project boat with new sails and a custom galvanized trailer. I stopped...

Judy,
Mack typically uses black thread for stitching their sails does this sail have white or black thread? Does this sail have a leech or foot line or both? Where are you located re shipping cost. Sail bag?

Thank you all who have responded. It appears as if all are using Epoxies to install the new coring material. Has anyone just used polyester resin to do this task? After all polyester was the original resin used for fabrication in the cored as well as uncored areas.
