      Finally I have launched THISTLE. She sails beautifully and looks great. Spent 6 days learning the ropes , figuring out rigging and generally re-learning how to sail. I knew all along that this was the right boat for me and I am certain of that now that I have sailed her.Thistle1

      I was just looking at some records on my Oonah build and noticed that I launched THISTLE on 31 August 2025, four years to the day after the kit arrived. So when I say “finally”, I mean it.

      Jim – Looks to be a great build! I like the bold Red stripe along the shear. Nicely done! Enjoy!
