The Cape Dory Typhoon is a classic, affordable, and nimble sailboat designed by Carl Alberg and produced from 1967–1985. It's known for its stability, self-bailing cockpit, and easy handling. Here's an overview:
Dimensions: 18.5ft LOA, 13.5 ft LWL, 2 ft 7 in draft
Rigging: Fractional sloop
Cockpit: 6 ft, self-bailing
Cabin: V-berths, 2 quarter berths, storage space, optional marine head, stove, and ice chest
Handling: Roller reefing, internal halyards, and a smallish rudder
Performance: Stiff, maintains momentum, and gathers way quickly
Suitability: Overnighting, weekend cruising, and bays with 4–5 ft shoals
Roller furling and all sails
The boat is in the water and the mast is stepped for now. It needs cosmetic work. I’m adding “as is” to my post because I think it’s important to let you know she does need cosmetic work and a repair to the jib sheet block. I’m selling the engine separately.
