1982 Bristol 35.5

The Bristol 35.5 represents a refined blend of Ted Hood's classically modern design philosophy and Bristol Yachts' build quality. This 1982 fiberglass sailing yacht balances racing performance with cruising comfort through an efficient hull form and clean, uncluttered deck and cabin layout. Hull number 111 is a solid 3/4 keel model—a rarer configuration than the centerboard alternative—that contributes to the boat's responsive sailing characteristics.

Below decks, the cabin layout prioritizes comfort and space, with an unconventional V berth configuration that maximizes usable area. The boat features one head and offers an airy feel throughout despite her compact 35-foot length and nearly 11-foot beam. A Universal diesel engine of 24 horsepower provides auxiliary propulsion.

The hull and topsides received fresh bottom and topside paint in January 2024 following a haul-out, maintaining the boat's weather protection and appearance.
