In Nov. 1999 I rescued A Typhoon that was abandoned with serious damage to the entire boat. I have fallen in love with this little gem and have spent many hours restoring it to it's original beauty. However I have no prior sailing knowlege but am handy with a hammer. I am now leaning about Epoxy resin and it's time to start putting the boat back together. If any one has photos, rigging diagrams, or any ref. manuals for a Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender I could really use your help.
Thanks John

Re: Tywknd Restoration
John,
I took on the same wonderful project 2 years ago. What a joy she is! Just the best little boat ever made. Enjoy!
A link to the original CD manual is on this website...a very thoughtful and much appreciated resource. Get that first.
I'll let others wade in with more specifics, but if I can be of any help with photos or a visit (I'm in Maine) just drop an email.

I have posted some photos of my Typhoon at < A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Regalo82">Regalo</A> which may be helpful.
Good Luck, and have fun sailing her this summer!!!

Re: Tywknd Restoration
john,
where are you located? there are plenty of us out here that may be close by. a visit to another ty would serve much purpose. check this site's directory for a ty owner near you.
