Thompson T7

Sailing

Easily sailed by 4 or less crew the T7 is a low coast production boat and is an international one design with limitations on sail replacement each season. Exhilarating sailing due to large rig and light weight, the T7 is easily handled due to its high ballast ratio. Perfect for sailors who may have been out of sailing for some time and want all the thrills without much of the expense of a larger yacht. A smaller boat also means finding less crew. Easily trailered behind the family car, the T7 can be ramp or crane launched using the keel mounted lift position. The simply stayed carbon fibre rig needs no backstays and controls and kept to a minimum to promote totally simple sailing enjoyment. The T7 can also be purchased in “trainer mode”, with detuned rig size, dacron sails, fixed keel for hardstanding and modified deck layout – perfect for training programmes.
