Hello Chris. Thanks for the “heads-up” on our error. One thing… we have a copy of an original Contest 33 brochure showing draft as 5.25ft / 1.6m so that is what we went with. In reality actual draft is often deeper than reported due to extra equipment, provisions, crew, etc.
Thanks again.Hello Kevin, Paul is correct. the difference is the reported sail area from the builder vs the 100% fore triangle determined by the rig measurements. Builders will often use a head sail bigger than 100% to report upwind sail area.
Hi Lee, Thanks for letting us know about your 1974 Galaxy 32. We’ll update our record.
It appears from your photo you have what we are calling the Galaxy 32-3 (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/galaxy-32-3) with the swept back rudder/skeg and lower cabin trunk. The 32-3 record is missing a photo. May we use your photo to show an example?Sorry, we do not have the drawings. We’ve been told Carl Alberg’s plans and drawings are now owned by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA USA, although a quick search did not turn up evidence of that.
A Typhoon owners manual can be found here: http://www.capedory.org/cdsoalook-groupsNpubs.html#onlinemanuals. It should be of some help.
Have you tried this site: https://www.cheyneyrock.co.uk/sailing/escape-sailboats/ It appears they might have some parts.

Also Mountain Road trading Post might have a rudder… but apparently no website. Here’s their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MountainRoadTradingPost/
Sure. Please reach out to me at: contact@sailboatdata.com.

Sorry, we do not have the drawings you are looking for. Perhaps you can find something at the Seamaster Club? http://www.seamasterclub.org
Not much information to go on but I’ll bite… Maybe they were put there by a previous owner to help secure something, like maybe a spinnaker bag?
Thank you so much for the correction and photo (We went to the Herreshoff Marine Museum and verified the photo you sent is indeed the Aurora). We have replaced the photo on the NY 57 record page.
Normally in the upper right corner of the transom. Unfortunately, it is often not visible in older boats. It is also somewhere hidden below, maybe behind a bulkhead. Hidden to help ID a boat in case of theft. Of course, this applies to boats built after 1972.
I’ve reached out to someone but have not heard back. To date, I have not found any information indicating the Cal 3-30 (version 3 of the 30, designed for 3/4 ton IOR racing), was built after 1974.
Hello, We are not builders. We found one builder of new International Folkboats here: https://if-boat.com. They should be able to answer your questions.
Thanks for the “heads-up.” Looking into this, in 1978 the Conway and Solway 36’s were rebranded the Conway 36 MKII’s. The MKII’s were built until 1982. They were replaced by the Ed Dubois designed Corsair 36 in 1983.
I’m looking into it and hope to have an answer shortly. In the meantime, do you happen to have the hull id number?
