| 1877 | $650 | Trailer, aluminum mast, some decent refinished wood and some other random bits. The trailer made a 2.5 hour journey here last fall but I would check the bearings (on principle) if you plan on towing the boat any distance with it. The winch has no handle and the trailer lights need to be gone through. No rudder and the two centerboards appear to need some work. No boom. No substantive hardware. Incomplete wood. There are some sails which I have not unrolled but given a quick look appear to be useable. This looks like a wonderful boat but I have too many projects and not enough time.

| 718 | $2,000 | Wooden D and M? I bought this a year ago and then bought an wooden Alden Indian so one has to go. I sailed the boat last August and September on the south shore of Boston and the boat sails great. There is a bit of seepage in the centerboard case. With the other boat, I haven't got to that. I used the North sails that came with it, from another Thistle, and there is an older set that came with it as well. It has a spinnaker and I flew it once and we were planing. This is a fun, fast boat that does need some work on the exterior. I can send more photos to serious buyers. Trailer is in good shape with working lights: black aluminum mast; wooden boom; wooden spinnaker pole, rudder and tiller. Also have old wooden mast, needs work. | Boston | Rob Landry

| 77 | $2000.00 OBO | 947 has a homemade trailer, suitable for short trips but not any long distance. The hull is made of mahogany plywood and is still in very sound condition, needs sanding and paint, the mast is wood I believe it is still in very good condition, the rudder is cracked and needs repair. I think I have 99% of the standing rigging as well as all the running rigging. No sails are useable but I may still have a couple that could be used for a pattern. This boat needs a new owner that will take on the project and finish it I would consider selling it for less to sailing club or non profit sailing school.
