The Thida,
...a Celestial 44', is a classic ketch, 13.70 m long. She has a long keel and her very strong rig together with a weight of 17 tons makes her a safe boat even in very rough seas. The reef point with 100% genoa is at a wind speed of about 30 knots.

Built in 1986 in Pattaya, her teak furnishing was designed for charter. Two aft- and a bow cabin provide comfort sleep for up to 6 people.

In the two aft you will find a bathroom equipped with a shower, toilet and handbasin. The spacious saloon and all of the cabins are cooled by two air conditioners.

The design of the pantry assures that one can stand safetly in all conditions. The deck and seated areas are all made from teak.

The main- and mizzen sail are equipped with a conventional reef, the genoa with a roll reef.

Should the wind abate, sports-manlike sailors can set the spinnaker. When there is no wind at all, or if the boat has to be maneuvered, it is equipped with a 68 HP Volvo-Penta engine.

For your safety there is a life-raft, life-belts and life-jackets. The Thida is for charter with skipper only.
