Early Light, a Bristol 51.1, is one of the famous Bristol Yachts built by the Bristol Yacht Company of Bristol, Rhode Island. She was designed by Ted Hood’s design group, the well-known America’s Cup designer, and was built in 1988. She is a serious offshore cruiser, well built, heavy displacement, sloop rigged, a retractable centerboard and a teak deck. She has a three cabin, two head layout, with dual passageways. The interior is beautifully crafted teak throughout, (bulkheads, seating and cabinetry). The flooring is inlaid teak and holly. She is fitted with a robust retractable centerboard for sailing performance yet with shallow draft. The retractable centerboard vs a deep fin keel allows entering shallow marinas and anchorages. The fully encapsulated lead ballast is deep in the hull to compensate for the unballasted centerboard. She has heavy fiberglass layup, a sturdy, skeg hung rudder, a keel stepped mast, interior cabinetry bonded to the hull and heavy bronze sea cocks. Other significant features include a Yanmar 4JH3E 100 HP main engine, an enclosed Westerbeke 8 KW generator, a removable inner fore-stay, Hood electric in-mast mainsail furling, Harken headsail furling, electric headsail winches and an efficient feathering MaxProp propeller.
