Boat Details

Description

Ted Hood classic, closely admired yesterday, today & tomorrow as an easy handling, straight tracking, sleek, practical, comfortable racer-cruiser. The most discriminating, most demanding skippers are delighted with the Bristol 40. An attractive passagemaker with owners liking the offshore handling. Built by Bristol Yachts in Bristol, Rhode Island. Described by many past owners as bullet-proof. 

"DIAMOND" is Hull# 77 and is a one owner since new, taking delivery in April 1979. Well cared for after all these years, in great shape. Recent replacements to include standing rigging, running rigging, "new" never installed head sail. Standard service year after year as can be seen on your inspection. With fresh electronics of your choice she can be sailed right out of here to your new destination. 

"DIAMOND" has never been on the market before, in great shape and capable of taking you across the ocean once again!

Broker Notes

  • Solid Topside Decks, no real signs of cracking/crazing or soft spots noted as I inspected and stomped around everywhere
  • Exterior Teak in great shape, natural condition and appears to be in above average shape
  • Interior Mahogany & Teak/Holly Sole also in great shape.
  • No interior rain leaks sited, compartments, cabinets and storage areas look good
  • While this may be a 45 year old boat it's my opinion that we have solid decks, hull & plenty of life left on Westerbeke Engine
  • Our low price point is to offer credit back to a qualified buyer for sails, dodger, electronics and a few other small items needed to get "DIAMOND" ready for her next passage!
