*We're bringing 4018 to MWE in Pensacola, so come take a look if you're interested.* 4018 is a white Great Midwest Thistle that we sailed for the 2025 season, including at Sandusky Nationals. Got a 4th and a 6th at Nationals and finished 2nd at Lake Erie Districts, so it's plenty fast! Boat is minimum weight with correctors. 2025 upgrades include new traveler system with Harken hardware, new Harken blocks for main sheet (70mm mainsheet block, 50mm boom block), vang and board changed to mini 360s. Comes with 3 sets of sails (Evolutions, North Fishers). Weight: 506 pounds; 9 pounds...

My mom bought her at a charity auction thinking it would lure the grand kids back to the lake. Not exactly the right boat for that and the grand kids were coming back to the lake anyhow. I rigged and sailed it a handful of times but am not an authority on this boat. It has been in storage for 4-5 years. It was campaigned by the late Walt Blackler here in the Finger Lakes. It's not a showpiece, more of a daily driver. It needs some work but is all there: Hull, centerboard, rudder, tiller, mast, boom, spinnaker pole...

1 wood spin pole, 1 aluminum spin pole, new unused spin halyard, new outhaul, 4 lb Danforth anchor. Main halyard is half stainless cable, half Dacron. Always stored with stem to stern cover made by Sailor's Tailor. Hull is stiff. Dry sailed. Lifting strap included. Flotation fore and aft and inside the seats. Gunwales look to be oak on the inside and outside edges, mahogany and spruce in between with some sections replaced. Aluminum trailer with bearing buddies and spare tire.

Thistle 4033 was purchased new in 2012 from Lamb’s Yacht Center and built on the Fox mold. Same vintage as other top boats from that period. Mahogany and ash rails. Minimum weight. I purchased the boat mostly bare and rigged it myself. The rigging is fully sorted and set up for competitive racing. Adjustable hiking straps throughout. Rigged for both twings and guy hooks. All other systems are custom rigged, straightforward, and clean. The boat has been very competitive at the national and district level. It has won ACCs and placed in the top 10 at Nationals twice, along with...

Sea Scout Ship 300 has 5 Thistles that we are no longer using and they need to find good homes. The "Blue" boat is a woodie, the rest are glass. These boats have been sitting for about 3 years, so they will need some work, I would suspect that all 5 need tire and bearing attention.

Hull 3059 I believe it is a Clark but not positive. Clean complete boat with cover. Current title in hand for boat. Trailrite trailer no title. Prior to me owning it they left it in a yacht club storage yard so no need to register the trailer and one of the prior owners lost the title and it was not important to them to register the trailer.
