Thistle 1983 Project Boat
PopularPosted 1 month ago by Charles Essi
This boat has nothing but potential , a mast, newer top cover, rudder, and trailor. Use hull 1983 as your blank canvas for creating a completely custom rigging system and bottom color. Hull #1983 was at Dennison Univsersity, then in Detroit untouched to wither away in a parking lot. I acquired it and planned to race it, but never finished the work and ended up sailing #2905. Hull has been redone and primed - needs bottom paint. Rails need to be glued together and finished. Black mast is newer and fully rigged - needs boom (have wooden boom if interested)....

#1173 Woodie
PopularPosted 1 month ago by JIM SHULA
#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...

thistle boat
PopularPosted 2 months ago by Karen Gotham
Thistle is white with gold trim. Wooden parts need work. It is a 1962 boat that is a project boat. We had lots of fun sailing with it, but now that we are in our 70s, it is hard for 1 person to handle. We are asking $500 as is.
