Bristol 32 "TASH"
A well-maintained example of this classic yacht, featuring new flag blue topside paint in 2012, and many other electrical, electronic, and mechanical upgrades and overhauls. Re-powered with a new Westerbeke 27hp diesel and new power train in 2009, with only 250 hours. The boat draws 4 ½ feet on a strongly built ¾ fixed keel. The skeg-hung rudder, perfect for the shallow Chesapeake, protects the propeller from the occasional crab pot line. The Bristol 32 is the little sister to the Bristol 40. Some of this boat was drawn by Dieter Empacher who at that time was employed by Hood design group.
Like all Bristols, this boat is built more heavily than most current production sailboats for maximum durability and reliability, featuring robust equipment not found in modern makes: highly visible 6” Globemaster compass, stout teak toerails, high and thick bridgedeck, solid teak companionway doors, a stout pipe rack, giant mooring cleats, large volume dorade vents, spacious storage low in the boat, separate cross-connectable water tankage, primary water tank in the keel, thick teak and holly sole, solid teak bulkheads and cabinetry.
Ted Hood-designed under the legacy Cruising Club of America (CCA) rule, the beautiful lines and modest beam provide good handling, stability, and maneuverability. Not a screamer on the race course, but the overhanging stern and spoon bow provide reserve buoyancy in the bow and stern that makes her ride with a smooth, seakindly motion even in heavy seas, always lifting to the next wave, never pounding. Like other CCA rule boats, the Bristol 32 settles into a 15-degree heel on either tack, lengthening her waterline and speed, and stiffens to any increasing breeze. She moves beautifully in light air, and her internal lead ballast and easily reefed main and roller jib help her respond to heavy air with a bone in her teeth, and a comfortable minimal heel when reefed.
A Maine boat for over a decade, she received light use in the short summer season, then was stored indoors over the long winter season there. Purchased by her current owner in 2010 and delivered from Maine to the Chesapeake in 2011 on her own bottom, including singlehanding the leg from Maine to Newport. She is fully equipped for Chesapeake and coastal cruising with GPS plotter and premium compass at the helm, stackpack/lazy jacks, roller furling, high bridge deck, and efficient cockpit layout. Custom canvas in the pushpit and cockpit bulwarks makes this boat safe for young children.
This Bristol is ready for a family with the appreciation of a fine coastal cruiser that has been maintained to high standards by her owner who is an active duty Navy Captain and a meticulous engineer. As you can see by other comps on Yachtworld, this listing has it all: the combination of excellent condition, an almost new engine, lots of upgrades to key systems where it matters, and new paint job set this listing apart.
