Re: Model G full restoration with wood trim
Can you provide more information on "Cape Cod Builders"? I can't find any information on a boatbuilder by that name.

Re: Model G full restoration with wood trim
My apologies. That's the slang I use for them. Not Cape Cod Shipbuilding, which is another company entirely.
I am referring to Pleasant Bay Boat and Spar Company. [url]http://www.pleasantbayboatandspar.com/h ... op.php/url]
My understanding is they now own the mold to the Typhoon and in their literature, they claim their Hurricane derives its great handling from the fact that it is on a Typhoon hull. The Hurricane is an ideal boat for me and I had a great conversation with them about building one. It is a gaff rig but can be easily modified to be a Marconi sloop. They are a quality company with great people, but the cost of $40,000, and the fact that the hull was a typhoon, made me consider this route. My boat is beautiful, its the money that is making me change my mind. My heart is bigger than my wallet.

That hurricane is very interesting. I'd love to see what that looks like with a centerboard. Although I'd never give up my weekender for a center board boat.
