Bristol Bronze - custom replacement ports for Typhoon

[Richard Stephens]

Continuing my quest for a replacement portlight for my Typhoon, Roger Winiarsky of Bristol Bronze has offered to make a custom bronze casting. Apparently, the patterns for a non-opening portlight are not difficult, but the price will depend on the number required.

If anybody else is interested in a quality drop-in replacement for the plastic ports fitted to the Typhoon, please contact Roger at rogerw@meganet.net.

He has also been asked by a CD25 owner to make a bronze Cape Dory builder's plate, and would like to know if any others would be interested in this part.

Regards,
Richard.

Richard:
I picked up off of the goodoldboats.com site a review of the Typhoon by Paul Danicic (nyeme001@tc.umn.edu) where he mentioned replacing his ports with bronze ports from ABI, Inc. No address or price was given but this might be another source for finding the ports.

The ABI ports are opening ones, available from JSI at $117.69 each. I'm looking at some non-opening ports (one piece casting instead of three) which will hopefully come in a lot cheaper, even in small quantities.

Richard,

For anyone wishing to replace their portlights on a typhoon the ABI ones I bought were the 4" "Bronze Deadlight" in their catalog. The outside diameter is 5 1/2" and the price was about $40 each. This was the most worthwhile upgrade, regarding appearance of the boat, I made. The opening portlights by ABI start with an outside diameter of 7", too big for our wonderful little cabinhouse in my opinion. ABI can be reached at: Marine Mail Order (707) 579-5709.

Sincerely,

Paul Danicic
