LILLE VENN is a beautiful example of the iconic Bristol 29.9, originally designed for racing and beloved for its cruising and performance. The hull is constructed of solid, hand-laid fiberglass and the hull and deck are joined with an inward flange resulting in a strong and tight connection. A large rudder provides a responsive helm and the skeg forward of the rudder offers protection for the propeller and good directional control. Design features produce a "well-mannered" vessel in terms of speed and performance that can also stand up to heavy air. In its ten-year production run of 29.9s, Bristol Yachts produced 216 examples--quite a testament to the build quality and design.
The Bristol 29.9 remains a popular choice for sailors looking for traditional quality and construction. The exceptional spaciousness of this thirty-footer results from her long waterline, excellent utilization of interior space, her ample beam and over six feet of headroom. The 29.9 is a great boat for day sailing, overnighting or extended cruising.
LILLE VENN has been well-maintained and updated. Some of the notable improvements include re-powered in 2017 with a 20 hp Yanmar, topsides re-painted in 2012, new electronics in 2016 and a new rudder in 2022. The interior is clean and bright with cushions, curtains, and cabin sole in good condition. A Fairclough winter cover and frame are also part of the package, and optional equipment includes (7) boat stands and a 500# mushroom-style mooring anchor.
This is a classic Herreshoff-designed vessel that has benefited from a knowledgeable and attentive owner. Striking at rest and even more so under sail, if you are considering a traditional yacht in good condition, LILLE VENN should be on your short list to see now.
LILLE VENN can be seen by appointment in the water in Greenwich, CT.
