1986 Bristol 35.5 CB Sold Boat in Westbrook, CT US

The MIGRANT is a good example of this classic BRISTOL 35.5 Centerboard design by Dieter Empacher of the Ted Hood design group. Produced by BRISTOL YACHTS from 1978 through the late 1980's, the "35.5" model (both "centerboard" & "keel" versions) demonstrated that the art of of building an affordable yacht with such features as a high level of quality, outstanding varnished matching-grain BRUNZEEL Mahogany (teak was an available option) joinery throughout, a "real" teak & ash-inlay cabin sole was certainly within capability. The MIGRANT was completed as a 1986 model BRISTOL 35.5 CB version and was delivered to her first Owner later that year.

Exceptionally strong, good-looking (to say the least) and well-appointed are watchwords to best describe the BRISTOL 35.5 and particularily the "MIGRANT". She's is a well-found BRISTOL 35.5 as a review of her overall Listing details will attest. Her Aristo Blue AWLGRIP topsides plus the included desirable Factory options such as the desirable centerboard, the high-flared teak toe rail, the teak & stainless steel rub rail, the stainless steel traveler bridge (to name but just a few!) .. plus the YANMAR 3GM repower in 1993 .. all combine to make the MIGRANT a perfect BRISTOL 35.5 CB to acquire for a long-term Ownership.

The MIGRANT has been stored indoors since the Fall of 2015 to date at our Brewer Pilots Point North Yard facility in Westbrook, CT. Before her transit to this area she was in a long-term storage mode in NC for two years. Her lower below-Market asking price reflects the some recommended cosmetic varnish work & detailing & minor maintenance that would complete this Bristol Picture, so to speak! Stored indoors, she's easy to view so inspections and offers are both to be encouraged for the MIGRANT.
