Custom quality! For a reasonable price, the Bristol-27 provides a
quality hull filled with excellent features and workmanship. The proven
reliability of both designer and builder makes it a lasting value. She's
roomy! She's fast! She's a good heavy weather performer! She's a boat we are
proud to place against any kind of competition. We feel she's an "inside and
out" bargain. Pick the version that best suits your needs ... and compare!
Hand lay up construction and full length keel with attached rudder provides
strength and sailing stability.
Fall in love! The best way to judge a boat is to sail it, to live in
it, to owne it over a period of time. This isn't always possible to do before
you buy, but you certainly can ask other owners what they think. Ask them what
they think of the Bristol styling inside. Ask them about the quality of
materials and workmanship. Maybe you could turn on the charm and ask them for a
ride. If you fall in love with it ... great! You're on your way to sailing
satisfaction!
Note: Remember ... inboard power available. Check the long list of
