The Mainsheet
The official newsletter of Thunderbird Sailing Club
About The Mainsheet
The “Mainsheet” is the Thunderbird Sailing Club’s monthly newsletter. Since it’s inception in 1969, The Thunderbird Sailing Club has used the Mainsheet as it’s primary communications tool. Now published and distributed electronically, in it’s early years it was created on a typewriter and distributed by mimeograph. Remember those? If you were born after 1970, I bet you don’t!
On this page you will find a collection of recent Mainsheet editions that have been saved, digitized, listed for posterity’s sake. Big thanks go to Les Cummings for his diligent archival work in preserving the history of the Thunderbird Sailing Club.
