Our scout troop has acquired a Typhoon for our sailing program. Does anyone have the specs on the bunk spacing for the trailer. We have a trailer however, we are not sure the distance between the stands are correct.
Thank You

Re: Typhoon Trailer Specs
The original Cape Dory owners manual gives the following dimensions for the spacing of supports for a Typhoon cradle: 48” between the uprights and 68” fore & aft. In actuality, anything close to these dimensions will still work as long as the vertical dimension between the keel support and the bunks or crewjacks is 24”+/-. You have a lot more variability with actual location of the uprights with screwjacks vs. bunks as they are better able to conform to the varying shape of the hull. Hope this helps!
