Love it! I just bought ‘72 Bristol 34 and can’t wait to take her to the Bahamas some day. She’s a little tight for her size but I love the styling of Bristols.
Yeah not a lot of room. No sugar scoop to help unload groceries from the tender. Always a trade off with boats. Not so practical But makes up for it in her looks. Hard to beat the look of a Bristol. Sails great as well.
Hi Michael , following you has been an eye opener. We are novice to S/V , and now we get to see you doing boat tours, and you did remarkably well! This is a beauty for the first! Would love for you to do a tour on our S:V sometime. She is currently in Chrisfield MD, Chesapeake Bay. Keep up both of your channels, look forward to more content❤
BTW how can you do sailing boat blog and have not a clue about Bristol sailing yachts. Center cockpit are the queens of cruising vessels with usually an amazing aft cabin. Most comfortable for cruising.
This is a great video ! You should do boats that are not even for sale, just so people can get a look at different boats , and Im sure people would love to have you do a video of there boat. Dieter Empacher, was the main designer of the Bristol second generation boats . He mentored under Ted Hood and worked in his office , I met him once , he also designed a lot of boats for Kanter Yachts. Rudders are solid glass no foam core , and all the internals and rudder post are bronze, never get crevice corrosion as stainless does. Also they are semi balanced so it is much easer on an autopilot. Rudder post goes all the way to the deck which is what you want in a blue water boat. Orcas will have a tough time damaging this rudder. The hulls on these boat are hand laid solid laminate, with an average thickness of 1 inch and thicker at the keel area. The keel is poured in lead in two cavities on either side of the centerboard. the hull is incredibly strong , these boats do not suffer from blisters. The vessel is what you would call a stick built boat , there are no glued in liners to add support to the hull , they laminate all the bulkheads and furnishings directly to the hull to create a very strong end result , these boats don't flex! , just look at how tight the woodwork is the the fiberglass head liner. ! Decks are balsa cored and very well done with more of the same heavy layup. To build a boat to this high of a scantling number with a solid teak interior would be well north of 1.5 million US$ " IMO." Bristols are spectacular boats , If you ever get a chance to look at one you will understand what I mean.
Great info here! I agree. I need a well out fitted more capable yatch. My plan is to get one and do a circumnavigation. Its a great boat however I need a hull newer than 2010. Will I get one? Not sure. The asking price is high but the actual vessel value is also good. Will keep on uploading these videos. Doing another this thursday. Will try to look at as many as pissible and upload. Biat show also starts in January. Lots of content comming..
@@xenobot8794 Look forward to seeing your next video. As in boat show , you mean the Toronto boat show ? Not many sailboats there, it has turned into a cottage/power boat show. You need to go to the spring boat show in Annapolis, all used boats , many blue water boats.
Great video! We own a Bristol 35.5, presently anchored in Curacao after an Atlantic crossing from Brazil. In sum, Bristol makes the best sailing yachts on the planet. Don't buy another brand.
Not a channel I’m likely to subscribe to ( too basic/entry level for my tastes) That said, there’s surely a market for your work! Best wishes to your success
Owned and re-fitted her big sister the 45.5; great boat. Well designed and well built. The 41.1 is basically the same boat without a stahl shower and a bit easier to handle. 155 with the additional work is fair.
Great video Michael. Love your sailing EV channel too. Nice work!
IMO a 40ft, 40+ year old sailboat is not worth $155k.
typo $115k ... oops
Depends on what you want to do with your boat. If blue water extended passage making is your stuff of dreams then this is good value .

My dream boat @ $35k. That's what my buddy has in his.

That's lovely, I could take that for a sail anywhere.
Bigger and cheaper than a one bedroom or a studio apt in Miami Beach!
Chris is a good man. You should buy his 41.1. You’d have a better sailing experience.
We need a bigger better vessel for the channel. I intend to find one and bring you all with me every step of the way..
@@xenobot8794 How big of a boat are you looking for Mike
Older yachts are hard to get insured

Great walkthrough and a lovely boat! Didn't see the link as mentioned in the video. Am I missing it somewhere?

Head room ???
I've seen you some where else, don't you have a youtube channel where you go from Canada to the Bahamas?
I do its complicated and will make sense in future episodes!! I will circumnavigate soon!! hint!!
Hi Chris. This a beautiful boat. Hope this guy is not your broker as he is clueless about sailing boats and very annoying.
There is no link for the boat.
Chrisverra02 @gmail.com
So you got back to Canada Mike - you must of froze your ass off for days !!!
Many brutal frozen days in videos to come!! Big plans for the sailing EV channel next season!!
@@xenobot8794 You should do a get together of all the Ontario viewers. I'm just up the river from you in Iroquois, ON
Clean the boat up before you show it. It was like digging thru a trash pile
Damn that boat is just nasty inside
Stop with all the side stories and show the boat. You just jabber on and on. Boring
