Since moving to Central Florida, 2965 has sat under a tarp for more than a year and a half. If someone is in need of a fleet-ready boat, reach out and give me a serious offer.  Would rather have it sailing than sitting. Old set of sails, trailer - if wanted - rudder centerboard. If for some reason photos are not loading, email me and I’ll send some along.

After decades of being out of Thistle sailing, coming back!  However, after just a few regattas, my rudder was stolen from storage space ;( I have a round aluminum tiller - however, open to an alternative rudder with a tiller... Needs to be good enough to sail regional regattas. Let me know if you can help.
