Anchor Whistler
Description
The Anchor Whistler (or simply Whistler) is a small vintage fiberglass daysailer produced by the Anchor Sailboat Division of the Molded Fiber Glass Body Co. (MFG), based in Union City, Pennsylvania. MFG, a pioneer in fiberglass molding (famous for early Corvette bodies), entered the boat market in the mid-1950s and offered sailboats under the "Anchor" branding starting around 1964–1965. The Whistler was one of their early entry-level models, alongside the Pintail (14 ft) and Teal (often 16 ft).

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
