Thunderbird

The Thunderbird, a hard-chined fractional sloop that carries 25.98 feet of waterline, 309 square feet of sail area, and 1,530 pounds of ballast. back in the late 50's the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, in order to promote it's marine plywood product, decided to have a contest to develop a sailboat that was fast, cruiseable, and to be capable of being built by average skilled amateurs. The Thunderbird's origins began in the Puget Sound area and although later on boats were professionally built in Japan, Australia, Vancouver BC, and Ontario Canada, the Thunderbird's heritage and soul is tied to this region.
