The Typhoon Senior is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg as a cruiser and first built in 1984. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The boat is a development of the Cape Dory 22, using the same hull mold, but a new deck and rig. [1] [3]

Production

The design was built by Cape Dory Yachts in the United States, with 57 boats completed between 1984 and 1987, but it is now out of production. [1] [4]

Design

The Typhoon Senior is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 3,300 lb (1,497 kg) and carries 1,700 lb (771 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 3.08 ft (0.94 m) with the standard keel. [1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small, 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The outboard motor is mounted in a transom well, with a hatch cover. [1] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, and two straight settees in the main cabin. There is an ice box underneath the companionway ladder. The head is located under the bow cabin berth. Cabin headroom is 56 in (140 cm). [1] [3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 273 and a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.0 km/h). [3]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Cape Dory Sailboat Owners Association. [5]

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Best features: She's got that Alberg look, with springy sheer and gracefully drawn ends. And though this boat is close in most dimensions to her comp[etitor]s, she has the feel of a bigger boat, with more space and greater headroom below than her comp[etitor]s. Worst features: Why the quaint little portholes instead of oval or rectangular portlights? Others must have asked the same question; rectangular ports were substituted on a later version. The outboard well amidships, covered with a full hatch, may look good, but we recall that ventilation in the engine compartment was poor, and to keep the engine from starving from lack of fresh air, the crew would have to prop open the hatch." [3]
