Thunderbirds are great boats, the big main helps them in light airs and the boat is robust and likes more breeze. I have a glass bird so not much help with the wood ones, but check out these fleets over at facebook. Seattle and Boston have a lot of knowledge of the wood boats. https://www.facebook.com/Thunderbirdfleet2seattle https://www.facebook.com/ThunderbirdFleet5Boston/ My T-bird - https://www.facebook.com/CompoundXTBird1050

Check in with Snapper - He has done the same thing with a Holder 20.

Seems like if it is a boat with some legacy, selling them with the boat would be cool so they stay connected. Write your name or sign them to mark your place in history. If they aren't going to be used by the new owner of the old boat, you should keep them and fly them on the new boat. But pick out the best of the best ones that you have memories of winning, and mark on the flags that they are from the old boat. And then as they get tired or as you win new ones you can replace them with new regatta flags. Say every time you get a new flag that you won with the new boat, you retire an

I would have expected something a bit more modern and easier to read/use. Seems like it is an old elevator control pad...

Maybe the jib has too much twist in it, and it is letting the bow come up. Get the lead correct on the jib and see if helps hold the bow down instead of fighting the boat with that much rudder. Then trim the main correctly and drop the traveler to leeward to reduce the weather helm.

I don't think this is a MORC boat, but the size and price seems good for a boat that might be fun to sail. https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/boa/d/sequim-1981-santana-23d-sailboat-trailer/7145797635.html

Ok, I'll admit, I haven't read every post. But didn't the original video of the boat show it with the mast down on the deck??? Where did it go???

Bump, come on the guy must have added something to the "boat" (if it can be called that) in the last few weeks????

How will the swing keel work on a crane hoist for launching? I am used to boats like a melges 24 were the keel is attached to the lifting bridle when launching the boat.

BUMP, this guy has got to be close to launching/sinking. Any updates from the people nearby??

That looks awesome, time to start playing the lottery.
