The Cape Dory Board

thank you. it doesn't make me happy to have to sell it but i really feel like it's the most prudent decision at this point in my life.

yes, that's mine- i'm selling it!

Hello- After a lot of thought and consternation, I have decided to sell my beloved Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender that has given me many summers of great use on the Hudson. As some of you may know, in a storm right before hurricane sandy, the boat sank in its dock because of two holes in the bow that r...

really? i'd have to fabricate a new one? they don't just make them already constructed?

in hurricane sandy one of my spreaders snapped! does anyone have any ideas as to where i can get a replacement and how best to install it? is this an easy task?
thanks!

hi! when my typhoon sank last month i lost some key parts that floated away, most annoying was the loss of the top board in the three-part companionway door. i also lost the white top cover on one of the cockpit seats and also the round white cover for the bilge. my question is: where is the best pl...

so what we ended up doing was attaching a hook to the stern cleat and hoisted the boat up by the stern with a chain lift. somehow that stern cleat held all that weight- i was impressed! once the rear was well and up, we started pumping out the cockpit. we had to use long boards to slowly raise the b...

hello everyone- it has been an enormously frustrating day. the marina was completely under-staffed and woefully under-equipt to deal with the issue and nothing got decided upon or resolved by the time the low tide was coming in and it was too late. i called sea tow (just to see) and they said they w...

thank you everyone for all the advice and help! it's in salt water and i hope that won't do too much damage. we are going to try to get it out tomorrow morning first thing going for the motor. the marina will be doing most of the work (i hope) otherwise i'm sunk! i am not sure who the 'professionals...

My 18' Typhoon Weekender sank last night in the marina, in Stony Point, New York. The marina reported over 5ft swells and high winds- and they lost two boats. They report worse damages than during hurricane Irene! Does anyone know what to expect from a situation like this? are cape dory's easily rep...

i have a 6hp on my typhoon in the hudson river and it is adequate. it's not too big but also gets the job done. the tohatsu was a very good deal. i bought it new.

thanks everyone- and thank you for clarifying that it is called a rub rail.
i haven't gone ahead to work on it yet but i appreciate the thoughts and advice!

about 3 feet of the teak tow rail on my typhoon was broken off this winter. does anyone have any tips on where/how to replace it? this doesn't seem like something you can just walk into a store and get fixed or ever really fix yourself...? help! (i have attached a photo)

hi-
my typhoon is in the hudson river all summer, which is salt water.
do i need to sand, scrape and re-paint the hull with ablative anti-fouling paint every year?
thanks

how is it powered? by a battery and a solar charger? i don't have either of those and don't often use my engine. what will i need to power it?
thanks
