Designed by legendary naval architect, Halsy Herrershoff, the Bristol 29.9 is a classic cruiser/racer. Over 200 29.9s were built between 1977-1986 and most are still on the water. Bristol yachts are known for their quality build and fine sailing characteristics. Sly Fox has been with the same owner for over 20 years. The Yanmar 15QM trustingly runs. The alternator was recently rebuilt and the drive shaft is just a few years old. Nice space below and in the cockpit. She's capable of going off-shore and is ideal for a couple or small family. There's a full compliment of sails that are in usable condition. The interior needs TLC. A WM 10' hard bottom dinghy and a 3.5HP Tohatsu convey with the sale. She's offered at an attractive price.
