1981 Bristol 35.5

Price: $40,000

Location: Boston, MA

Year	1981
Make	Bristol

Salacia (Neptune's wife) was made when sailboats were heavily built and Bristol Yachts was a class leader. Designed by Ted Hood, she is balanced and known for moving well in light air. With her 500 pound centerboard down she drafts 5.75 feet and she outpoints most, and with it up her draft is just under 4 feet with her keel only. Newly redone non-skid and running rigging. Brightwork in excellent condition. Engine runs well. New cutlass bearing, driveshaft and dripless. New diesel tank and water pump. I have owned and loved her, but 75 is too old to single-hand her even with her new autopilot…
