1973 THISTLE
Description
*** - NOTE: My home sold this weekend and will close within the next couple of weeks. After that I'll be traveling. I don't have a problem putting this in storage but I'd rather not have to mess with it so I am accepting offers. - ***
Just added 6 new photos of the interior of the boat without the sails in it.
Retired and selling everything to travel. Boat comes with 1990's model trailer that I have completely rewired with new LED tail/stop lights. The trailer is more than adequate for this 500 pound boat with a 3500 pound single axle.
TheThistleis a high performanceone-designracing dinghy, also used forday sailing, popular in theUnited States. The Thistle Class Association,with fleets across the country, holds local, regional, and national regattas throughout the year.
The sail plan is large for a boat of this size, consisting of amarconi rigwith amain,jib, and symmetricalspinnaker. The sail plan is larger for the boat’s weight than in many other dinghies, which makes Thistles perform extremely well in light wind. Their hulls have wide, rounded bottoms, allowing the boats toplanein winds as low as 10 knots.
2 complete sets of sails:2 Mains2 Jibs2 Spinnakers
Boat is in good condition and ready for next adventure. Clear titles on boat and trailer.
