Correct mast, boom & sail dimensions Typhoon Weekender (1976

Post by 43ferry »

The diagrams online have become too fuzzy to read. Yes, even with my glasses on! Can anyone confirm: Mast 22 ft. 7 in., Boom 8 ft. 10 in., Sail Luff length 22 ft., Foot 8 ft. 9 in. ?

Thank you.

From my 1981 edition:
P = 22' 0"
E = 8' 9"
but note these are sail datum and not 'mast' or 'boom' lengths.
I do not see any mention of actual boom or mast lengths at all.

Thanks Michael & Toni,
That confirms what is on those blurry old specs.
I recently bought new sails for my Typhoon. They didn't fit because they were cut correctly for Typhoon spec dimensions & I have since determined through measurement that neither my mast, boom nor sails are original & of the correct dimensions, though my mast has the TY logo it was made FOR Cape Dory in Hong Kong. Never Assume...
