Good Day, my name is Simon I live in the Indianapolis area. I am the proud new owner of a Cape Dory Typhoon #OPDD144477J . My wife and I started sailing two years ago . We had a Holder 14 and was a great little boat to learn on. After a couple of near capsize situations it was decided to get a boat with a full keel. I do my homework and the Typhoon had the best reviews of any boat under 20 feet. I have much to learn and will use this forum . Living in Indiana we wont sail till late March. Other than a very little TLC the boat is in fantastic shape. I am looking for a schematic for the rigging and best all around sailplan. Thanks for all the help so far.

Have you seen the 100-page owners manual for Cape Dories on this website? You should be able to find it here:
