I am glad that you enjoyed the Thunderbird sailboat 50th anniversary festival in Gig Harbor! Here are some links below that your bloggers may be interested in to learn about these wonderful boats! Come out and watch them in Thursday harbor races for August, tonight at 6:30PM in Gig Harbor and you will likely see 3 or 4 of them that usually participate!

My brother kept his in Bellingham while living in Sedro Wooley and the father of a girlfriend I had back when I was sixteen used to consistantly win the DesMoines Yacht Club regatta. He later converted it into a fishing boat that he would take up to Alaska! Last I knew, he converted it back to it's true racing form. Great blog! Matt,
