VESSEL DETAILS
OVERVIEW:
This is a classic Ted Hood cruising centerboard cruising sloop that is well known as a capable vessel with honest sailing characteristics, robust construction great sailing ergonomics. Centerboard design offers both shadow water capabilities (Thinking about the Bahamas, or sneaking up into a shallower mooring?), and excellent upwind characteristics with the board down. The skeg hung, balanced rudder with protected prop is separated from the keel. This design is highly regarded - and was built by two other builders associated with Ted Hood due to it's excellent all around performance, well behaved sailing, and offshore capabilities.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Bristol 38.8 has a straightforward, highly functional layout that has proven the test of time - because it works, and it works well, for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. The entire interior is built of teak joinery, and fully varnished. This is a high quality interior and typical of the fine craftsmanship in this series of Bristols. Headroom is 6 foot 4 inches. Ventilation is excellent, galley and navigation stations are both "proper" and useful. Vee berth forward, large head with shower, salon with port and starboard settees (Port pulls out to double), galley aft with nav station opposite, and a quarter berth. Engine access from under the companionway stairs as well as from the quarter berth and the cockpit locker.
