The Cape Dory Typhoon, affectionately dubbed "America’s Littlest Yacht," remains one of the most recognizable and revered small keelboats in the history of American fiberglass boatbuilding. Designed by the legendary Carl Alberg and introduced in 1967, the Typhoon was envisioned as a vessel that offered the aesthetics and sea-kindly characteristics of a much larger offshore cruiser within a 19-foot frame. With over 2,200 hulls produced through 1986, it serves as the entry point for many into the world of traditional full-keel sailing. The boat’s enduring appeal lies in its heavy displacement-to-length ratio and its substantial 900-pound internal lead ballast, which provides a level of stability and "big boat" feel that modern, lightweight daysailers of similar length rarely achieve.
