Here is what comes out of a Typhoon when you completely gut her. Looks like the forepeak cuddy, cockpit seats, lazarette, and a bunch of rotten plywood.

And here is the substantial, heavily-built hull with encapsulated ballast.

Foredecks, side-decks and new lazarette, along with framing for cockpit seats and a well for, I'm guessing, access to the bilge. Oh yes, a cross-member for the traveler.

Beautiful plywood, glass and gel-coat work, accenting brightwork and lots of access ports.

Rubrails to help protect the beautifully-finished topsides. Every boat should have 'em. Pacific Seacrafts do, and a few other of the best brands. Someday I will make a set for Terry Ann.

The boat has a name and a hailing port.

Taking the sun in front of Bruce's shop in the mountains of North Carolina. Looks like a Torqueedo jutting down from the stern, no doubt liftable like the one on Arabella, to reduce drag and get the last bit of extra advantage for racing.
