Description:
This is one of the most versatile boats in the the fleet. It has Bristol's usual classical good looks and toughness, but it sports a roomy cabin, something that Bristol's aren't always known for.  It is salty and rugged and sea-kindly. Plenty of room for a large group, for either daysailing or cruising.  The large cabin and ample cockpit provide comfort for long sails or extended cruising.  This one is preferred by sailors who appreciate a traditional design and are looking for a safe and able boat that gets admiring looks and is a pleasure to sail.  Head down to Tice's Shoal for a comfortable weekend, or just experience the feel of a bigger boat.  A good choice for those who are working their way up to a bareboat charter in the Caribbean. 

Cockpit will fit 6 people. Cruising accommodations for 5.
