No, not USCG documentation, just documentation of the specs and layout of the boat. I have a 1965 Typhoon daysailer and am attempting a restoration. I documented carefully the location of all deck hardware before removal. It is becoming apparent to me that I can not depend on the location of the hardware I removed to be representative of the original location of such things as jib sheet tracks, main sheet traveler or blocks, chocks, cleats, etc. The Typhoon is hull #34 and was built in 1965. If any you have an owners manual or photographs or written description (sketch) of the original location of deck fittings of Typhoons about the same age as mine I would be interested in aquiring a copy.

Re: Typhoon documentation
If memory serves me, Noel Peattie who publishes 'The Typhooner' will provide a copy of the original Owners Manual for the price of copying. He can be reached at 23311 County Road 88, Winters CA 95694. Looking carefully at mine (a magnifying glass helps) the few fittings that came from the factory can be discerned. There aren't any dimensions given.
Also there is a cross section of the tang/spreader hardware you question in your other post.

Re: Typhoon documentation
I have a xerox of a 1984 version of the Cape Dory owners manual which has sections on Typhoons. give me your postal address and your e-mail address and I'll get it to you.
I have two related questions:
1) our '74 came with the main halyard upper pulley in place with a rolled bushing but without a pin or rivet or whatever was supposed to keep it in place. How is your's fixed.
2) When I first stepped up the mast, a 1.5 inch long tubular galvanized pipe fell out. It used to have something screwed; there is a single threaded hole. there is a longer section in the sailguide slot to which the cleat for the downhaul is attached. I'm guessing that the single holed section was for a stop to keep the mast below the access hole for the sail guides. Is this right? What does the stop look like?
thanks cy jordan

Re: Typhoon documentation
Serge, thanks for the reply. Does your spreader look like what I describe and your Owners Manual show? If so, can you explain how to remove the tangs? I can not figure out how to remove the barrels that cover the all-thread that goes through the mast. Any advice is appreciated.
