1976 D&M Thistle hull number 3458. I purchased the boat last year. It had not been sailed for some time and needed a little work. I purchased it with the goal of making it safe, competitive, and back in the fleet. I did sail the boat last fall and found a leak at in the bow tank and at the centerboard pivot location. I dried out the tanks, repaired the centerboard pivot area and resealed all the keel screws. Seat tank/hull joint had been ground out in previous repair attempt. Seat/hull joint was repaired with 1708/epoxy and Awlgrip. Boat is now watertight and in the event of a capsize, safe.
It is a vintage D&M with no stiffeners. I think it is a great entry to fleet and local racing. Everything required to go sailing is included. Asking 2500 OBO. You can be sailing this spring!
