Nelson Sailing Center
Boat "Snapshot"  :    Cape Dory Typhoon

Quick Specs (see below for details)
Length:  19
Power:  outboard (electric)
Sail Plan:  sloop -- main and jib/genoa
Porta Potty: No

Description:
Another boat from our favorite designer, Carl Alberg.  Our guess is that 100 years from now, the Alberg designs will still be appreciated and copied.

The Cape Dory line is a group of rugged and practical vessels, not unlike the Bristols.  They emphasize strength, excellent sailing and sea-keeping ability, and understated good looks. Our Typhoon is a very clean and good looking boat, with some teak to "dress it up".   The cockpit is on the small side, with room for up to 3 or 4.  The full keel makes this boat a forgiving sailer, and the heavy ballast (for a 19 footer) allows it to stand up to boisterous condition.
