I would be interested in a cockpit cover. I would use it for overnights, to give me more usable room out of the weather.

Here's a very early (#5?) Typhoon Weekender: http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/4168572809.html

This boat was apparently made by Cape Dory but it's quite different from later Weekenders. Does anyone know the story on this design?

I have no financial interest in this boat, but I wish I had gotten my Typhoon for this price.
