- The Thunderbird class sailboat was designed in 1958 by Seattle Washington naval architect Ben Seaborn, in response to a request from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association ( now APA-The Engineered Wood Association ) of Tacoma, Washington for design proposals for a sailboat that would " . . . be both a racing and cruising boat; provide sleeping accommodations for four crew; be capable of being built by reasonably skilled amateurs; provide auxiliary power by an outboard motor that could be easily removed and stowed; and out-perform other sailboats in its class . " More than 35 years of experience and construction of more than 1, 250 Thunderbirds around the world have demonstrated that the 25.90-foot ( 7.89 m ) Thunderbird class sailboat is a success on all accounts.
