Description

The Bristol 38.8 is a high quality, solidly built boat that has withstood the test of time. Designed by Ted Hood and built by Bristol Yachts in Bristol Rhode Island, Meridian is an outstanding example of a centerboard cruising boat. Hood knew more about designing centerboard cruising boats than anyone and he designed a winner in the 38.8, considering it one of the two most successful designs to ever come out of his shop.

A truly beautiful boat, Meridian is turn-key and ready to sail today. Well maintained, she is clean, neat and shows well.

With her centerboard up she draws just 4 feet 6 inches, great for the shoal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. On the other hand, if your sights are set across the ocean, the 38.8 is capable of taking you anywhere in the world. Designed with blue water cruising in mind, the 38.8 is a stable and well-mannered boat that has completed many ocean crossings.

Seeing is believing, don't miss the virtual tour, video tour and slideshow links below, and call for a showing today!

A native of Miami, Florida Jason grew up around boats and boating. He started sailing at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club at the age of 8 and got his first boat, a sunfish, at 11. He worked for his father, a professional yacht captain, 7 summers running from the age of 14; working out of Jones Boat Yard and Richard Bertram Yacht Yard, maintaining Trumpy, Burger and Feadship motor yachts. A graduate of Florida State University and study programs in London, England and Urbino, Italy, Jason moved to Washington DC to attend graduate school at George Washington University; followed by a career in international distribution with a focus on consultative sales, marketing and contract negotiation. A long-time resident of the Annapolis, Maryland, Jason is a member of the Chesapeake Yacht Club and an Eastport Yacht Club alumnus. Jason cruised the Chesapeake for 10 years aboard his Columbia 10.7, before becoming an avid racer; participating in the Pirates Cove Race Club's Wednesday night series on the West River, as well as various CBYRA Bay races for the last 23 seasons. After teaching his son’s to sail aboard their Hunter 27, Jason and his family can now be found cruising the Chesapeake aboard their Beneteau 381. We are pleased this seasoned sales professional and life-long boating enthusiast has joined our team here at Curtis Stokes Associates; where he is focused on helping sellers find the right buyer and buyers find right boat.

History of Bristol Yachts

Founded in 1966, Bristol Yachts quickly established itself as a pioneer in the boat manufacturing industry. Based in the maritime heartland of Bristol, Rhode Island, the company was the collaborative enterprise of Clint Pearson, one of the co-founders of Pearson Yachts, another prominent name in the yachting industry. As with most endeavours, the initial focus was on a single design, the Bristol 27, but over the years, this expanded to encompass a vast range of power and sailing yachts, each exemplifying the Bedford tradition of quality and innovation.For a time, Bristol Yachts was a dominant force in the industry, with up to twenty models in their line. In the 1980s, under the stewardship of Clint and Jan Pearson, the firm notably pivoted from producing small to mid-sized sailboats to focus more on larger yachts. This period saw the introduction of the much-acclaimed Bristol 35.5, 38.8, and the 45.5 which are still revered in the community. Unfortunately, due to an array of challenging market conditions, Bristol Yachts had to cease production in 1997. However, the lasting impact of their exceptional workmanship and design continues to be appreciated by boating enthusiasts around the globe. Today, their quickly recognisable yachts still grace waters everywhere and are very much sought after in the second-hand boat market.

1970 Bristol 42 Trawler Little River, SC

• General Description
• Specifications
• Add't Information

Designed by Eldridge and McInnis the 42 Bristol Trawler is a classic design with timeless lines.  She could easily be mistaken for many other trawlers of the day, two-cabin two-head layout, lots of room, large salon.  A great number of these boats were built in India with variations on features and unfortunately on quality as well.

This particular Bristol, number 37, can be traced back several decades through only a few owners, and is a very special boat indeed!  She was laid up in Rhode Island but finished in North Carolina.  She has features not found on other 42's and her quality of construction compares with few.

Powered by a solid pair of 4-53 Detroits she was hauled and inspected this summer (2017) and received an extensive list of maintenance services and upgrades including fresh bottom paint (no blisters), hull and engine zincs as well as oils changed, new boot and deck striping, new bimini for the bridge enclosure, new batteries for the engines and the inverter, plus a good bit more!

This is a boat of excellent quality and condition!  The previous two owners in her past have loved this boat like a member of their respective families, and can discuss her in detail back for several decades.  If you want a good quality, efficient, well maintained boat to become a member of your family, ready for extensive cruising RIGHT NOW, this is the one to see!

While the typical Bristol 42 features the classic two stateroom two head design, this particular vessel has a few variations not found on others.  The aft master stateroom has an aft facing center-line double berth, while the forward cabin has the more conventional V-Berth configuration.  A convertible double settee in the salon brings the comfortable accomodations total to six.  The aft master head features a stall shower.

The aft master cabin has dresser cabinets with drawer storage on both port and starboard sides as well as a large hanging locker.  The forward cabin also has drawer storage, storage inder the V-Berth, and an additional hanging locker.

The salon features two entry doors, starboardside to the aft section of the salon and portside to the forward, adjacent to the portside lower helm.  Unlike most Bristol 42's there is no entry door from the aft deck, thus providing more room and better use of space.
