Thanks for the recommendations. I didn’t pay much attention to the “adhesive” label, but it makes sense now. Someone also mentioned butyl tape. It seems like my chainplates were previously re-bedded, and I’m not sure when and what the previous owner used as a sealant. I hope it wasn’t a strong adhes...

I’ve updated my profile to Typhoon Daysailer. An associate from West Marine informed me that Life Caulk and 3M 4000UV are essentially the same product and suggested the latest. However, I’ve also read more positive feedbacks about Life Caulk. I’ll also add washers to the bolts. Why they did not use ...

Thanks. Great I’ll check at nearby West Marine. I posted a pictures of the bolts. Do you think I should also add washers? As for the sealant any preferences between 3M 4000UV and Life Caulk.

Hello,
I am re-bedding my chain plates. Where can I get new nuts and bolts? Can I find in any hardware store?
Thanks.

If you have a furling jib from a typhoon daysailer in great shape and want to sale please let me know. Thank you!

Right now I have a standard main and 150% furling Genoa from previous owner. I would like to be able ...

Thank you for the replies and useful advice. I sail in an area with a lot of fouling all over so yearly sanding and painting makes more sens.

If you are thinking of selling your handsome, well-cared, Typhoon within close distance of the Long Island/New York area, I am interested. I am looking for a boat in overall good condition: well maintained, good sails, good standing & running rigging, good deck/woodwork/trim, no OB is fine. I am...

John, I am in the Port. Washington / Glen Cove area. I am looking for an opportunity to sail one in the area if you know anyone.
Thank you.

I have been reading a lot on the CD Typhoon and thinking that would be a a great first boat to buy for my daysailing on the Sound. However I would love to have a hand on one and experience how she sails before deciding. So I would appreciate if someone in the area would be willing to take me out on ...
