For Sale: 1975 Bristol 27

[canvasman]

Excellent condition, ready to go anywhere right now, Carl Alberg designed Bristol 27. Due to unforeseen health considerations I am forced to cancel my cruising plans. A previous owner had the decks and toe rail professionally replaced and the hull deck joint glassed over. The decks are rock solid. The toe rail is taller than the original. The chain plates were replaced with larger ones and the standing rigging was replaced. The outboard well was modified to allow the motor to be tilted out of the water when not in use and it can also turn port and starboard allowing excellent maneuverability in tight quarters. The motor, new in 2023 is a 6hp Tohatsu Sail Pro/high thrust prop with extra long (25in.) shaft. The 25in. shaft allows the prop to be at about the same level as the prop on an inboard motor.
