CD Typhoon Daysailer - Rare

Post by Ron Campbell »

I have a Daysailer that seems different than most other CD's.
Serial # is CPDG0034M75J and is titled as a 1977.
The mast steps from the cockpit floor. Most of the models I have seen have a cuddy/splash shield. I have only seen one picture of a CD looking like mine.
Does anyone know about why this one looks different than most CD Typhoon daysailers?
Your help would be helpful.
Regards, Ron

Is it like this one? Near the mouth of the Narrows, entrance to the Basin, site of the Maine Cruise stopover August 16th. Towing a motorboat!

Ron,

I believe that there are two versions of the Ty Daysailer. One has a small cuddy cabin and the other is totally open, as shown in Nick's picture.

Both models are beautiful.

Thank you for the info. So they must have had 3 different versions ( i.e. cabin, cuddy, all open ) available.

Hi Ron,

The three CD Typhoons that I'm aware of are two versions of the Daysailer, one with a very small cuddy cabin and the other completely open.

The model with a full, larger cuddy cabin is the Weekender. The Weekender has two vee bunks and a porta-potty. The earlier models had a flush head and no holding tank.

Best regards,
O J

EARLY WEEKENDERS

Post by Oswego John »

Hi every one,

As usual, Winthrop is correct again.

I have owned a Weekender that was built in the first year that they were produced. I'm trying to determine if it was built in late 1968 or was it in 1969, whatever. In a few weeks, I will be travelling to take delivery of a second Weekender of early vintage.

The early models are quite different than the later models. As previously mentioned, the early models had a flush toilet (head) with no holding tank. It flushed overboard.

There were no port lights (windows) in the cuddy cabin. The early models were built with much more teak than the later models. The sliding companionway hatch, as well as the aft cuddy bulkheads were teak.

The cockpit bench seats and backrests have no fiberglass or gelcoat at all. They were constructed of teak slats. This resulted in no storage compartments with hinged lids under the bench seats.

There were no self bailing cockpits. The cockpit was deep, the sole under water level. The cockpit sole had a crosshatched teak grate to let rainwater into the bilge.

The first Ty models had no worry about rudder failure or separation. The rudders weren't made of fiberglass, they were made of wood. Three sections of teak bolted together and through bolted to the bronze rudder post.

I haven't detected any change at all in the hull contour from early days to the present. All in all, a sweet, allaround boat that is a pleasure to sail

Best regards to all,
O J
