Beautiful Thistle in need of restoration (see photos).  17' long, 6' beam. Black racing mast in good shape.  Full set of sails (garage kept), rudder and tiller.  We believe is it is late 60's.  We are the second owner.  Trailer is not road worthy; only used for storage.  You must make arrangements for hauling and moving.

These sails are brand new. The main is still in the bag, rolled. The jib was up once on the boat, not even sailed. You can get the brand new sails for a discount. Main and jib together for $1,900 - plus shipping or maybe we can meet. Call with questions or email, if that is better.

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.

#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...
