Seller's Description

Beautiful 1974 Cape Dory Typhoon 18 Weekender sailboat ready to go sailing! “America’s littlest Yacht”, one of the most popular sailboats ever built.” Displacement is 2,000 lbs. and draft is 2.58 ft. Great day sailor and overnighter. Bow roller, anchor, chain and rode. Full custom canvas storage cover like new! Boat has FL title and trailer is registered, both in my name. All interior and cockpit cushions in excellent condition!

UK Sails are like new! Main with reef points and lazy jacks, 125 Jib, 150 Genoa, sail bags, Sunbrella boom cover fitted for lazy jacks, and jib bag, like new! Standing and running rigging in great condition.

1997 Trailer is very strong and is in very good condition. New in 2018: axle, hubs, bearing buddies, tires! Spare tire and bracket, new double wheel jack stand. Trailer lights are new and work! Trailer has long extension making for an easy launch and retrieval!

1998 5hp Yamaha 2 stroke long shaft (20”) outboard in like new condition, less than 10 hours, serviced 1 year ago including new water pump and impeller. Motor is mounted on original bronze typhoon bracket.

“The Typhoon is a joy to sail for beginner and expert alike. Carl Alberg designed her that way. The Typhoon’s “full keel”, with 900 Ibs. of molded-in ballast gives the Typhoon the feel of a larger boat, with the steadiness and stability not found in many larger designs”.

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.5 kn
Classic: 5.44 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

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

5.54 knots
Classic formula: 5.44 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.7
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
17.68
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
51.5
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

51.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
327.8
275-350: heavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
327.83
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
19.2
<20: lightweight racing boat

Comfort Ratio

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
19.23
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.99
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Same hull as CAPE DORY 22.
