The "30 Square Metre" is a reference to a specific class. They are all very similar in shape. The result is a classic, fast-cruising yacht, easily handled well known for their elegant lines and seaworthiness. The "Square Metre Rule" was adopted by the Royal Swedish YC in 1908. Typhoon is a very nice example, undergoing a substantial refit in June 2021 at Deagon Slipways in Brisbane and then sailed on her own bottom to Sydney. The inclusion of a diesel motor and replacement of the original fitout with settee bunks, make her a great harbour racer and weekend cruiser. An inspection of this classic yacht will not disappoint.
