s/v Trio

"Trio" is a 1977 Cape Dory Typhoon. Designed by Carl Alberg, she has a length on deck of 18.5' and displaces 2000lbs. She was sold in the spring of 2003, but remains in my heart as a wonderful boat and teacher.
Her 900lb lead keel provides wonderful stability...she truly sails like "'America's littlest yacht"
It's said that of all the boats Mr. Alberg designed he owned only one Cape Dory...a Typhoon!

Here's "Captain Dad" at the helm.
Cruisin' on Great Pond.
Ready for launch!
