1972 Bristol 40 sloop. Indoor storage in E. Blue Hill, Webber's Cove Boat Yard.
This is a gorgeous sailboat. Designed by the famous yachtsman and designer Ted Hood,
2 owner boat.
So excellent shape when purchased by present owner in Essex Connecticut, but then a complete systems and topsides overhaul/update was completed in St Michael's BY, Maryland- Tad DuPont,: toe rails new, totally re-rigged by Sound Rigging, Essex Conn --new boom, furling main and jib. Always professionally maintained, at Morris Yachts NEH and now Webber's Cove. Boat doesn't leak at all, never has. I wanted to sail her single handed, which I was able to do easily, until now hitting the wall age of 78. I have a super hard to find 12 inch, double gripped SS Lewmar winch handle (paid almost $200.00 for it) which eases trimming the 150% or the newer 120% Genoas.
New windlass last year, and Dacron or nylon ground tackle; back-up chain rode available; 2 GPS chart plotters: one color, one BW, very recent new Autohelm & VHR, and depth sounder; 2 big self-tailing primary winches for ease of single handed sailing, another self-tailing winch for Main roller furling, (roller furling jib and main,) storm staysail with moveable stay, main halyard winch on mast; electric flushing comfortable head, holding tank; Gimbaled 3 burner propane stove and oven, sleeps 5, 150% and 120% jibs, new big beautiful a-symetrical Genacre, hardly used, Westerbek diesel about 810 hrs in great shape, new topsides Awlgrip about 15 years ago, beautifully maintained by 2x yearly Awlwash and Awlwax |
