The Cape Dory Board

It was great to see everyone at the recent meeting in NH. After a great deal of soul-searching, I have decided to sell my 1985 Typhoon Senior and custom galvanized trailer in Southeastern Massachusetts due to health reasons that are affecting my on-deck mobility. For a full description, please see r...

Hello everyone, the restoration of my Typhoon Senior is going well, but I am in need of six original bronze turnbuckles from a Typhoon Senior or Cape Dory 22, and was wondering if any of you have a set laying around that you're no longer using. Although I'm replacing the standing rigging, I'd like t...

Thanks to Brian I'm all set everyone!

I was recently informed that the rudder on my TY Senior isn't repairable, and none of the reputable companies that make new ones has a mold. They said the best way to proceed would be to take measurements and a pencil tracing from a good rudder. Is there anyone in Southeast Massachusetts or Rhode Is...

Congrats Alan! I've owned both 22-foot CDs and personally prefer (so no flames please lol) the Senior because 1) I like the fractional rig better 2) I like the longer side berths than the CD22 which has the sink at the top of the berth on one side and the ice chest on the top of the berth other on t...

When contemplating a restoration on a mid-1980s vintage boat, it is a good idea to start with your "all-up" budget - The max that you can or are willing to invest. If you are new to sailboat repairs, you may want to get a survey - it's usually only a few hundred dollars for a 22-footr, and...

Thanks John. To me they're the perfect daysailor size, but I also intend to use it for up to 3-4 days for exploring around the Narragansett Bay next season. Having had smaller 19-foot weekender sailboats before the cabin is palatial in comparison lol. Thing I like about the TY Senior vs. the CD-22 i...

There used to be a company in Washington State famous for being able to match Cape Dory gelcoat colors. Does anyone know if they are still in business (and if so their name and city), or if they have found any other companies who have done a great job with color matching? I need to do a few deck and...

Just picked up a local Typhoon Senior in Southeastern Massachusetts with almost every available factory option (my previous TY Senior was the opposite - no factory options). Will be making a few updates and minor repairs over the winter to get ready for the next season on the Mt. Hope and Narraganse...

Negative reply from the PEM. Still awaiting a reply from MSM.

Greetings, I'm in the process of acquiring a Typhoon Senior and have been thinking about the best way to support the mast while trailering. My TY Senior has both a bow and stern rail, and I've seen a lot of owners put the mast on these not only while trailering but during winter storage. New Triad t...

To clarify, I'm looking for the names of the boats that Carl Alberg personally owned and operated, not the names of the boats that he designed. I actually received this list once (I recall it had around 12 names) but I can't remember who sent it or locate it now. I updated the thread subject line to...

I recall seeing a list of a dozen or so names of Carl Alberg's boats (can't remember where or if they were just sail, or sail and power). I recall a couple of names were "Whimsy" and (I think) "Caprice". Have any of you seen this list, and if so, could they either provide a link ...

Hi Joe, I'm very interested and sent you a PM and email last week with my contact info. Dan

Looking for a road-worthy dual-axle custom Triad trailer with current registration for the Cape Dory 22 or Typhoon Senior along the ocean between Tom's River, NJ through the I95 corridor in CT and RI, or I195 in Southeastern Massachusetts out to the Cape. Thanks!
