1980 Bristol 35.5C

This 1980 Bristol 35.5C is a fiberglass cruiser built to the high standards Bristol was known for. The boat retains its original white gelcoat, which remains in good condition. A shoal draft design allows for versatile sailing—drawing 3 feet 9 inches with the centerboard raised and 9 feet 5 inches when lowered, making this boat capable in shallow waters and deep anchorages alike.

The standing rigging was replaced five years ago, providing confidence in the structural integrity of the rig for extended cruising. Electronics were upgraded in 2023 with a comprehensive suite including radar, GPS, AIS, VHF, depth sounder, and wind instrumentation from B&G. Air conditioning, running on 110-volt power, offers comfort during warm weather passages.
