Used Typhoon 18 (Naugus) Sailboats for Sale

The Naugus Typhoon 18 stands as an intriguing early iteration of a design that would become one of America's most beloved small sailboats. Born from the drawing board of the renowned Swedish-American naval architect Carl Alberg, this 18.5-foot monohull was produced by Naugus Fiberglass starting in 1974. Distinguished by its open cockpit and lack of a traditional cabin, the Naugus Typhoon 18 primarily served as a pure daysailer, setting the stage for the highly successful Cape Dory Typhoon series that followed. It embodies the classic Alberg design philosophy of robust construction, traditional aesthetics, and a sea-kindly motion in a compact package.
