Classic Ted Hood design Bristol 35.5. Nice condition overall with a replacement FWC Yanmar diesel with low hours!

Classic Ted Hood designed Bristol 35.5 in quite nice condition and a low-hour replacement Yanmar diesel. The long-time owners are retiring from boating and she is ready for new adventures.

The boat has been maintained and it shows inside and out. Extremely traditional sloop design with a surprising balance of comfort and performance. She is very good in light air and only requires the use of a moderate 120-130% headsail to get optimum performance.

There is a large cockpit with wheel steering and binnacle-mounted instruments and a compass. The electronics on the boat are older and due for replacement

Self-tailing primary winches and the aforementioned headsails make this an easy boat to sail short or singlehanded, yet she has the room for a full crew when available. Owners also have a full canvas boat cover that will come with the boat.

Down below is equally traditional and comfortable. There is a large forward-V with hanging locker and large enclosed head behind. The main salon features a drop-down dinette with opposing slide-out double settee / berth.

Further aft is a good-sized nav station to port ahead of a large quarter berth. Opposite is well equipped L-shaped galley with stove / oven, large ice box, sink and plenty of storage and counter space.



This is a wonderful classic sailboat ready for new adventures. Equally at home as a club racer or for extended cruising this one will likely address all your needs for some time to come. Call me today to discuss this further.
