1978 Bristol 29.9

The Bristol 29.9 is a respected offshore sailing design with a fiberglass hull, 29.75 feet long and nearly 11 feet of beam. This example is powered by a Yanmar 2QM15 diesel engine producing 15 horsepower. The engine sits low and accessible, reachable from both the starboard lazarette and companionway steps, making routine work straightforward. It has been winterized and serviced annually.

The boat offers one cabin and is arranged for cruising. Below deck, the layout supports extended time away from the dock, with the engine easily approachable for maintenance and repair.

Recent work completed in 2024 included full servicing or replacement of all thru-hulls by a professional boatyard, rebedding and replacement of both deck hatches with new Lexan, and replacement of the main halyard, mainsheet, jib halyard, jib sheets, furling line, and traveler sheet. New teak handrails, coamings, and companionway boards were sanded and finished. Head hoses were replaced where needed, and a new engine battery was installed. The engine has received careful winter layup and spring maintenance each year, establishing a regular service history.
