1979 Bristol Bristol 32

Concerto is a 1979 Bristol 32 masthead sloop with a centerboard design, drawn by Ted Hood and Dieter Empacher. The fiberglass hull measures 32 feet in length with a 9-foot beam, delivering the classic proportions Bristol built the model around. The boat carries a Yanmar auxiliary engine for power when needed.

The layout provides two cabins below, offering comfortable accommodation for cruising. The centerboard design gives shallow-draft capability, allowing access to anchorages and waters unavailable to fixed-keel boats of similar size.

Built to Bristol's standards of solid construction, this 1979 example represents the enduring appeal of the Bristol 32—a design that has proven itself over decades of cruising work.
