RIGGING OPTIONS FOR YOUR NEW THISTLE
Beacon Rigging
Order the Beacon rigging package to get the tried-and-true standard Thistle rigging with Harken and Ronstan hardware. It also comes with mast, boom, rudder, and center board.
I’m 100% satisfied with the construction of 4052. Alex made some great modifications to the GMW design, for one he eliminated the centerboard tank that came back from the bow tank. So now the bow tank is just a bow tank, and the centerboard structure is more simplified and stronger. The woodwork is excellent and the quality of the fiberglass joints is outstanding. All in all, I could not be more pleased with the boat.
