1977 Bristol

          *****

A true American classic sailboat with full Keel and extensively restored customized inside and out.   We are listing this boat as a third party as the previous owner is retired and moving out of state.   Boat is ready to go in the water now!!

This is a No Reserve auction for a very nice fully restored 1977 Bristol 24 Corsair sailboat. The previous owner tastefully updated the rigging and systems over the last few years while keeping the boat in true original form. There is no outboard included but it is otherwise ready to sail.   The previous owner chose to keep the outboard but it will require a long shaft model in the 5 to 10 hp range.   It is currently in drydock storage and will be launched at no charge for the new future owner. If new owner wishes to transport by land there will be a charge to in-step the mast and load onto a truck. It is located at very capable large boatyard/marina in Branford Connecticut.   The boat must be launched or moved from the yard by June 1st or additional storage charges will apply.   Below is a listing of work performed as well as 133 additional large photos.   Please call us at (860)510-2623 with any questions. or to set up a showing.
