THISTLE is one of the 10 original Watch Hill 15's, an incredibly beautiful and highly coveted class. While she has historical value to many, the sheer joy of owning such a beautiful wooden boat, which is thrilling to sail, is what draws most sailors to this class. And while they have been successfully rendered in Fiberglass, any true aficionado knows that there is no substitute for the charm, elegance and overall aura of a finely crafted wooden daysailer. THISTLE benefits from a full rebuild by George Nicolas (2000 - 2001) and excellent care since, which has left her in fine condition and ready to sail immediately.
Current owner and steward has copies of original blueprints / drawings of THISTLE - and has copies of Westerly Sun newspaper clippings showing race results from the 1920's and 1930's to share. Inquiries are invited.
