Typhoon Cabin

[Pinch]

This is an interior shot of a Typhoon Weekend I am looking at. Can someone tell me if the knees on each side are original? I have not seen them on other Typhoons. Thanks

My 1971 Typhoon has the knees

nothing like that on my '76. later model years had more substantial knees but not like those either.

what is the rope hanging from the cabin ceiling ?

Good question. It looks like it is right under the mast step

My '78 Typhoon has knees, but not like those. On mine, the cabin sole, berths, and inner liner all are one piece.

I wonder if a previous owner cut down your liner in order to add some knees? Or possibly that's just how Cape Dory built the cabin for some part of the model's history.

P.S. Don't be deceived: My cabin has only been this clean and clutter-free once, when this photo was taken. Ordinarily it's crammed with sail bags and other gear.
