Info re; CD Typhoons

[Clem Dunkley]

I just started looking for a CD Typhoon and found a 1974 Weekender that has been recently upgraded with new sails , lines and awlgrip.Since I have just started looking, I dont have much to go on for price, but the asking price of $5800 seems quite high to me. Could some one give me a good price range for Typhoons in this age bracket. It looks well maintained.
PS- I found your website by accident and it sure looks great.

The CD I found is located in Centerport Long Island and it is selling for $5,900. I spoke with the Broker and he told me he would sell it for $2,100 less then the price listed. Small boat market is down.

There you have to ask yourself what came first the chicken or the egg?
The point being what are you willing to pay for a Typhoon priced low ,and in need of new sails and upgrades?, or should you pay a little extra for a boat in fine condition. Either way you will probable end up spending the same in time and money to achive all the work; in time and material that has been put into the boat you are looking at. I have a Typhoon 1972, Hull # 27 that I have spent many hr's restoring and upgrading ,believe me, you or my wife don't want to know what I have spent on this fine vessel (all the new bronze hardware arrives next week).I do know that to buy one new would cost a lot more ! But then that would take the fun out of the whole project. Have the boat checkd outby a third party, and if all is fair,in my humble opinion the price dose not seem out of line for a well restored Typhoon.
Have fun sailing her. BOB

Clem:
Good luck with your search. When I started looking for a Typhoon, the only restrictions I placed on it was that I did not want any serious problems to fix. In particular I wanted to stay away from one that had delamination, a cabin top that was indented or one with serious rigging problems. I found one that was priced for $2500. Now I have old sails to potentially replace ($400-$800), the nonskid needs to be redone ($200-$500), oh there are a few scratchs on the hull ($200 - $500), the motor isn't very good, but I don't ever sail with one anyway; there's one coaming board that should be replaced ($100-$200). One of these days I really will do all of this, but right now I have just enjoyed sailing her. As the other responders suggested, a well restored one is going to bring a pretty good price, and probably should. One thing for sure, I think you will find the Typhoon a great little boat to sail.

Early this year I purchasrd a 1979 CD Typhoon. I picked her up in Texas and trailered her back to Minnesota (Yes I was taken in by th CD voodoo). I paid $5800 for a boat the owner was asking over $7,000.

The boat: New main, jib and spinnaker. All new running riggings. Newer Nissan 2.5 short shaft. Beautiful EZ Loader galvanizes trailer.

What I over looked:
Bad paint job. $1,000 worth of Awlgrip paint (still in the box).

Old blisters painted over. Sandblasted all old bottom paint, bad gelcoat/blisters. (This was an easy job; big mess but easy).
$100 - $200 in filler and sealers/paint.

Teak in poor shape. Pulled all wood, Replaced toe rail. All wood back on after the paint job.

Lifelines/stantons wern't bedded properly. I pulled them, filled the holes and plan on leaving them off. The Typhoon is much more beautiful with out all the lines cluttering her up.

Clem.. My problem was I took her for a ride before I gave her a good go over. I was hooked when I stepped onto her. In hindsight I should have had a survey done.

I spend 8-10 hours a day in fromt of a computer (CD web page only accounts for 1/2 an hour). It sure is nice to come home and work on my boat.

This spring I will launch "Lions Whelp". New Jade Green Awlgrip paint, working Bronze prot holes and fresh teak.

Yes it has been worth the time and money.

HOLD EVERYTHING!
I saw that very same boat, now nestled next to a huge sloop on Rt. 25A. I told the broker that that particular CD-19 had many problems, like a soft back deck and loose mainsheet block mount, holes in the cabin top, a sagging cabin top due to over-tightened shrouds, a gouged out transom(stbd. side), as well as numerous cosmetic flaws on the wood work and hull. Also if memory serves, the hull number (320) is about a '72 or '73 model. The broker origonally advertised it as a 1977-78 model.

Some of the folks I spoke with on this website valued this boat at about $1000, given the cost to repair and rebuild the back deck, prop up the cabin top, and replace the wood work.

Given the benefit of a doubt, the boat has a full electrical system with a panel board below. But it is not worth $5900, or even $3800.

Any questions, drop me an e-mail, I'd be glad to tell you more about my "survey" of this fine yacht. There's another CD-19 at that yard, behind the main building, by the Bayliner sales offices, that has been drydocked all summer, and is in fine shape. It's hull is #1913 (1983) and seems to have been forgotten by it's owner. Seems a shame, it's a real beauty.
