Fleet 2 Information
Seattle Fleet 2 is a member of the International Thunderbird Class Association (ITCA). The fleet consists of over 50 members with between 8 and 15 boats regularly participating in racing. We race every Wednesday evening out of the Leschi Marina on Lake Washington from April through September. The also fleet participates in numerous other weekend regattas and long distance races both on the lake and on the sound as well as a yearly regional regatta which rotates every other year between British Columbia and Washington State. We also participate every two years in the Thunderbird International Championships. An annual calendar of racing events can be found on this website.
In addition to racing we have an annual Christmas party, an awards banquet in January, and informative and fun meetings during the winter months. Our mission is to make friends, have fun, learn, promote Thunderbird sailing, and to do it cheaply! If you’re looking to sail in the top one-design keel boat fleet in the Northwest, against some of the best sailors in North America, without having to spend lots of money your search has ended. For information on how to get involved, find a boat, or other questions please contact any of the fleet officers listed below.
Trailer - Use of a trailer is available through fleet member Charlie Macaulay. The trailer includes tools, jacks, and a gin pole for raising and lowering the mast. The trailer is designed so that a boat can be set on dry land from the trailer and from the ground back onto the trailer by one or two people. Donations of $50.00 for maintenance are requested for short term use. 425-831-5588 (H) or 425-557-4480 (w) or by email
