1981 Bristol 41.1 Center Cockpit

 

Seller has cruised the through the Caribbean and ready to settle ashore.

 

Hull #3 was built in Bristol, RI in 1981. Designed by Ted Hood, she is a solid classic center cockpit sailing vessel with a keel/centerboard! Shoal draft of only 4’ 6” making her perfect for the Bahamas or lower the centerboard for a draft of 10 feet for improved deep water sailing! 

 

North Sails were installed new in 2021. The bow thruster and Max-Prop will provide added maneuverability in tight docking situations. The cockpit is spacious and comfortable with cockpit cushions, a custom mahogany helm station and folding table and a full cockpit enclosure. Below you will find the beautiful teak and mahogany cabinets and table which are typical of the expert wood craftsman from Bristol Yachts. A newer reverse cycle AC unit keeps you comfortable at the dock. The forward V-berth, queen aft cabin, and two heads provide plenty of room crew and there is even more space as the salon settees pull out for more sleeping areas.

 

A sturdy and cruising ready Bristol 41.1 Center Cockpit that will take you to distant shores in safety and comfort.
