INTERNATIONAL THUNDERBIRD CLASS ASSOCIATION
More than just a sailboat…a way of life.

The International Thunderbird Class Association is the governing body of the Thunderbird Sailboat. The purpose of the organization is to promote and develop the Thunderbird class under uniform rules. The organization maintains “The Black Book” which specifies measurements and required equipment in order to preserve the one-design status of the boat.  The ITCA also sanctions regional and international events, maintains a roster of paid membership and boats, and is responsible for rendering decisions on boat measurement issues.

This is official site of the international organization and will be updated from time to time as new information becomes available.

There are two racing fleets that are still active. One is the Savin Hill Yacht Club in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and the other is the Port Townsend Sailing Association in Port Townsend, WA. The best way to find out about the Tbird racing scene is to check out those two sites. But probably the best source for current Thunderbird related activity is the Thunderbird Sailor and Owners page on Facebook.
