Designed by Ted Hood and masterfully constructed in Rhode Island, this 1982 Bristol 41.1 exemplifies the pinnacle of classic New England boatbuilding with her solid, hand-laid fiberglass hull and sea-kindly heavy displacement. Step below and rich, satin-varnished teak joinery and a traditional teak-and-holly sole set a warm, timeless tone that few production yachts can match, while her center cockpit puts the helmsman right on the centerline with an unobstructed view down both rails. Her generous 12'11" beam and purposeful interior layout combine fine marine-grade joinery with the functional comfort required for serious offshore passages or extended coastal living. Equipped with an efficient Westerbeke diesel straight-shaft inboard, expansive tankage, and a recently refreshed suite of Garmin electronics and standing rigging, she is fundamentally engineered for genuine self-sufficiency at sea. Beautifully maintained and timelessly styled, this vessel offers discerning blue water cruisers a turn-key opportunity to own an enduring piece of American yachting heritage.
