Sailboat Covers - Thistle 5 products

Thistle Dinghy

The Thistle is a high performance racing dinghy, also used for day sailing, popular in the United States. The Thistle was designed by Gordon K. (Sandy) Douglass who later designed the Highlander and Flying Scot. The sail plan consists of a main, jib, and spinnaker. The boat can be easily rigged by one person. They are often raced with a crew of two or three, although they can be sailed by one person in lighter air, and comfortably daysailed with up to six.
