Description

Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender is a classic, full-keel fiberglass sailboat designed by Carl Alberg. Though often called a 19-foot boat (measuring 18 feet 6 inches overall), it features a cuddy cabin with a V-berth, a small cockpit, and heavy, stable handling that makes it a beloved coastal cruiser and daysailer.
