Cyclone 13

a lightweight high performance one-design sailboat
"Bendy mast, short forestay, loose-footed sail, mid-boom sheeting."


Here's untimely notice that I created a Cyclone 13 blog to replace these pages on my website ... eventually.

In the meantime, a Capri Cyclone page has been posted (not by me) on Wikipedia.


See the Technical Notes for frequently asked questions.

Richard Corbett, Montclair, Virginia USA
I would just like to note that my Cyclone 13 [US844] finished second out of a field of 6 boats at the 2005 Lake Montclair regatta. I was bested by a sloop rigged Capri 14.2 by about 2 seconds. Although there were no other Cyclones in the race there was another Capri 14.2 that came in fourth overall. It was a very interesting race involving a lot of tactical maneuvering. It was a triangular course that was run counterclockwise. The weather was excellent for the day with south to southwest winds of 4 to 8 knots. I hope to hear from other owners on their racing results. --Richard Corbett
