4 Newer Batteries!! 400 Watts of Solar!! Great Cruiser!! Ready to Sail to the Islands Today!!
This 1973 Bristol 35' was designed by Clifford Swain, chief designer for John Alden, and built by Bristol Yachts.
She is a long fin keel sloop, drawing 5' 0". This makes her one of the most forgiving and easy sailing vessels of this era. She is a sturdy boat with beautiful lines.
Stepping aboard you will be instantly impressed by how all of the bright work has been beautifully maintained. The cockpit sole grating is in beautiful condition and matches the rest of the brightwork. The owner has also built a beautiful matching pilot seat that is extremely comfortable, adjustable, removable, and has storage underneath.
The cockpit has a large wheel, Ritchie compass, VHF radio, and a Garmin echoMAP DV. It has large storage lazarettes under both the port and starboard seats as well as a large lazarette aft of the pilot seat that provides access to the rear transom and additional storage. There are two Lewmar winches to each side with the mainsail traveler directly behind the helmsman. The cockpit is covered with a large bimini with Sunbrella fabric that matches the main sail cover and the jib.
Aft of the cockpit is a stainless steel frame with dinghy davits and the mounting for the solar panel.
Moving forward you will quickly note how wide and unobstructed the walkways are. The deck of this boat is amazingly uncluttered of the usual "toe bangers" found on the decks of many sailboats.
On the bow you will find a Seahorse windlass with 20 ft of stainless steel chain, 120 ft 5/8 in nylon rode, and a Bruce anchor in a stainless steel anchor track that is integrated with the pad eye for the forestay.
The forestay has a Profurl roller furling carrying a 120 Genoa. The main and the Gen are both Dacron and have been completely restitched in recent years.
Entering the cabin the galley is directly to port with a large dinette/sleep berth forward of the galley. To starboard is a large settee / sleeper that is set up for a sling berth. There is lots of storage above both the starboard settee and the port dinette sleeper.
The cabin is wide and spacious, with a lot of light through the port lights, and the cushions are brightly upholstered and in great condition.
Moving forward there is a wet head between the salon and the V-berth, The V-berth is roomy with lots of storage in the bulkheads and beneath the cushions. The cushions are nicely upholstered and in great condition, and there is a very large hatch for ventilation.
Forward of the V-berth is access to the chain locker.
When not under sail this Bristol is powered by a 30 HP Yanmar diesel engine. She carries 25 gallons of fuel which she sips sparingly.
She has 400 W of solar panels, 4 new batteries, and a brand new electrical control panel.
From top to bottom this 1973 Bristol 35 is in very nice condition and ready for your next voyage. Whether it's just moored out for the weekend or heading to the Bahamas for a few months, this one is ready to go!!
Don't wait. You'll have a hard time finding another one in this condition at this price point! She won't last long!!
