Bristol Yachts 35.5 1982

Pre-owned

The Bristol 35.5 combines the classically modern design of Ted Hood with the meticulous craftsmanship of Bristol Yachts in a responsive yet comfortable racer-cruiser. With her efficient hull design, the 35.5 features the graceful lines and comfortable layout which provide an uncramped, uncluttered feeling when above or below decks. This Bristol Hull # 111 is the Rare Solid 3/4 keel Model (not a Centerboard keel). Including a special and unique V-berth configuration which provides more space. This vessel was hauled and a new bottom paint and topside paint was done in January of 2024.

Accommodations

Starting forward is an access panel into the rope locker. Next comes the Split Pullman berth with more storage and work shop potential. There are storage areas above and below the bed with  an overhead hatch for ventilation. The head can be entered from this stateroom and there is a hanging locker across to starboard. The head is next to port with manual toilet and shower with H/C pressure water.

The main salon is next and features port & starboard settees that fold down for separate double bunks or with the added custom middle piece, makes it a king size bed! There is a teak bulkhead table that stows neatly out of the way when not in use. Two overhead hatches plus three opening ports provide plenty of ventilation. The navigation station is to port just ahead of the aft berth.

Across from the navigation station is the galley with plenty of storage above and below the generous counter space.. The interior headroom is 6’ 4” throughout so there is no cramped feeling when below decks.
