Slower, but nice to look at are the Marshall Catboats. You can usually
find those for good prices. The traditional looks might appeal to a
former typhoon owner.

How right you are. He's dying for a Catboat, the 19s tend to be 15K for a nice
one. Very pretty boats. I was able to sail one this year and I could see the
appeal, especially for it's size. I especially like the Menger with the
gaff/sloop rig. Not cheap though.
The Rhodes 19 may be the way to go. Are the centerboard models ballasted? Will
they ride a mooring safely?

Well, given all that, howsabout breaking your arbitrary length barrier
by a nominal foot and looking at a Freedom 21? Might hafta pay a bit
more than $4K too, but not much more.
