1984 Bristol 38.8

This 1984 Bristol 38.8 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Ted Hood, built to the quality standards that define the classic Bristol line. The boat draws 4'6" with the centerboard up and 10'6" down, offering shallow-draft capability for windward work. A 50 hp Perkins diesel powers the yacht, supported by a single engine installation. The beam spans 12 feet across a 38-foot length, providing a balanced platform for cruising and coastal work.

The interior features abundant teak joinery throughout the cabin, with a teak and holly sole. The yacht includes a single head and was originally commissioned with custom opening portals in the main cabin, enhancing both light and ventilation below deck. The layout prioritizes comfort and livability for extended passages.

The boat has been continuously maintained over the years and has received numerous upgrades. The current ownership spans 27 years, during which the yacht has been kept in active condition with attention to both systems and structure.
