Notes: A fiberglass version of William Atkins THISTLE (1934). \nIn doing the conversion to fiberglass, William Crealock said that he kept the basic lines, while raising the sheer and redesigning the rig.\n\nThe builder, Larry Kendall, only produced a few boats, before he sold the molds and tooling to Westsail Corp. in early 70's. The remainder were built by Westsail.\nWith some design modifications by Crealock, it became the WESTSAIL 32. \nThanks to 'Gitanecrew' for corrections on this model.\nAdditional information from Oljai Oztoprak, owner of KENDALL #1.
