hello to all
I looked at a derelict Ty today and I made an "offer" should the place were it is stored decide to file a lean against it for fees.
I didnt have anything to write on, so I am trying to do this from memory (not always a good idea), but does hull number 1526 match the year of 1978 (or there abouts)?
Thanks
Bill

1978 Ty Questions

RE: 1978 Ty Questions
Sounds about right. A quick scan of the Cape Dory registry for 1978 Typhoons show hull numbers ranging from 1484 to 1608. Must have been a bumper crop year. I have a 1980 hull number 1688, so apparently not as many were made in 1979.

Bill, I have hull #1515 which is a 1978 model. So 1978 sounds right for hull #1526. I hope you are able to get it.
At 18.5 feet, Tyhpoons are amazing boats.

Long Shot
Hello George
Well it is a long shot at best, but he wants it gone and he hasnt seen the owner in months (he would not elaborate), so maybe.
I saw her on the trailer and I have seen her in the water before. She certainly make me re-think my position on the 27 being the most beautiful of the fleet!

1978 Typhoon
A while ago (about 2 winters ago) there was a list of the number of Typhoons built in each year - since I had nothing better to do at the time I actually plotted the data on a graph - someday when I learn how to plot this graph on the nmessage board I will do so. Nevertheless your Ty # is about right with the listed year.
