Bristol 24 Sloop – Sailboat for Sale Used

The Bristol 24 is one of the roomiest 24 foot bluewater cruisers on the market. The design provides extremely comfortable accommodations for a 24 foot cruising boat. The yacht features 6 foot headroom (great for a 24 foot boat) and a privacy door separating the two cabins.  There is plenty of storage space under the bunks and in the galley area.  Considered to be a quality constructed bluewater cruiser.

The yacht features a full keel with the rudder attached to the keel. (keel hung rudder)  This and her 3000 lbs of ballast are what make her a so seaworthy.

The hulls and decks are constructed of hand laid fiberglass reinforced polyester resin.  The cockpit is 5 feet long with storage space in a large lazaret.   The cockpit floor as well as the decks feature a built in non skid surface.  An outboard well was optional.

Cabin space and headroom (6-foot) would make you think you were on a much larger boat. Two models were available.  One with an attractive dinette with five berths and the other with a standard arrangement and four berths.
