The boat and trailer are free. Come and get them. The boat is over 15 years old. There also is another thistle that can be used for parts.  The sea worthy boat has been covered with plywood and a tarp for several years.

Thistle 3570 in solid condition, was owned and cared for by the late Howdy King and located at Indianapolis Sailing Club on Geist.  Race ready.  All tanks dry.  Close to minimum weight (can verify).  Sailed mostly on inland lake/geist.  Green with red waterline and white under waterline.  Teak rails/gratings  Some dents and scratches from docks but otherwise a good, fast D&M that was well cared for by the man himself.   King trailer (super lightweight, easy to move around a lot)  has some surface rust-  just needs a wirebrush and some paint-  I'll throw two new tires on it.  Excellent mast/boom/spin...

I'm reaching out to the group for some advice. I bought a mid-sixties D&M boat, 2406, in 1975 but due to life circumstances I haven’t put it in the water since the mid eighties. An un-used boat is a tragedy and I’d like to find it a home with someone. That means more to me than getting some money. I have kept up with maintenance over the years, repairing the rails and a new mast step. It’s truly an older boat with original Race-Lite hardware, a gold mast but no boom. I have the original Boston sails - main, jib...

#1173 is a true barn find.  At some point around the turn of the century, she was given a new transom, gunwhales and some hull patching.  The work must have been done by a professional because it's very good.  Then she was purchased by a guy who put her in the barn loft for 15 or twenty years.  He gave the boat to my 89 year old neighbor who stored her in his shop for two years before I acquired #1173 from him.  After the restoration, no hardware was re-installed although a lot of the hardware is in a box...

Beautifully restored boat has been covered in my garage since 2001. Due to ongoing chronic lower back issues, it is time for someone else to take over the helm. Topside and transom are bright, hull is light blue. Old Shore sails are still usable, but no good for racing. Much Newer, used, Norths still have plenty of race in them  (boat priced accordingly). Aro spars, wood/lead cb, wood ruder, new rails, fwd grating, 45 braces, and stanchions. Shock cord @ spin turtles  and hiking straps has gone limp. Gator, breaking trailer w/bearing buddies and spare tire. Lights and wiring are...
