The Cape Dory Typhoon is a great boat and a simple/affordable boat to enjoy sailing. The Cape Dory name, which has been substantiated over many years, makes sourcing parts or advise through forums a very attractive benefit to owning this boat. The Typhoons simplicity allows the boat to be sailed well by the experience sailor while also remaining a good option for the enthusiastic newcomer. This is a boat that youll be happy to own until you cant sail any longer or you require a larger boat.
Equipment: Lizzie is well appointed and ready to sail. Her sail inventory includes a few extra sails so she can be rigged and sailed in different conditions or set-up for different skill levels. The cockpit comes with cushions for some additional comforts. Lizzie is ready to receive an outboard with her transom mounted outboard bracket, but there is no outboard included in the sale. The boat also includes an emergency anchor set-up (rode, chain, and anchor). The current owner has really enjoyed sailing her but is no longer able to enjoy her. This boat does not have a trailer. The owner is open to all offers.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
This is probably the first version of the TYPOON DAYSAILER, built by Naugus Fiberglass. (pre-Cape Dory and which we have labeled NAUGUS)
It has an open cockpit and no cabin or cuddy seen on the later versions built under the Cape Cory label.
The image here is from the sales literature and we know that at least one was built.
