An IMMACULATE & Ready To Sail 38' Cruiser [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

Рет қаралды 55,586

Күн бұрын

This Bristol 38.8 is truly special. It's rare that I step aboard a used sailboat and am wowed by how pristine the boat is. This boat took my breath away in that regard.
Designed by Ted Hood and built by Bristol yachts, the Bristol 38.8 is a high quality cruiser, capable of taking you safely wherever you'd like to go. Her design is fairly traditional, however, with not much surprising down below in that respect. It's a functional design for a couple that just works. The build quality and finish work is where this boat literally and figuratively shines.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

I owned this boat for 17 years and I can attest that she was well maintained until we traded her in on a Sabre 42 Salon Express. She was sailed primarily in New England and docked on Cape Cod. It’s nice to see that the current owners took great care of her and made nice upgrades including a/c. I was amazed how fast the boat could sail and how incredibly stable she was in rough seas. Whoever buys this boat is going to get a real gem. This was the last boat built by Bristol Yachts.

Hey Mike! I just purchased it. Would love to pick your brain on the asymmetrical spinnaker attachment point at the anchor roller/ bow sprit. I might have a bridle/dyneema rig made up to do it. The previous owner wasnt sure.

OK. This is one of the nicest boats that you have shown. Super equipped, and immaculate. Don’t know much about Bristol’s CB and mechanism, but if it’s like the rest of the boat, probably no problem. My Tartan 37 CB. ( the boat was VERY similar in all ways to this boat). Had an excellent CB aragememt and could sail very well with board up, Probably this boat could too. Again, very nice! And 27 yrs old, but very nicely upgraded and maintained.

Seems to be worth its price. Definitely worth a visit. So fat not a thing I don't like about this boat (except for the wheel which is overdone for a 12m boat - but they put them anywhere now…) : I perfer a good old rudder on boats ot this size : doesn't take as much space in the cockpit,and a wheel means a "complex" trasmission system with poor access to it.

@anthonyrondolino8148 Жыл бұрын

Old school design lacking beam in the aft section, short lwl, and thus limited interior room & storage for long distance cruising. Absolutely beautiful condition and great for a single or couple doing coastal cruising. It is $$$ but is ready to go.

@captainsview3303 Жыл бұрын

Personal experience is that this boat has more storage and larger tankage capacity than any new wide transom production boat. Also she is far more comfortable in a seaway. This boat will take you around the world.

@seandelaney1700 Жыл бұрын

It would be interesting to know the year, you might want to make that more obvious when based on comments people clearly don't know. It would really be great to know ahead of time if the boats is even close to affordable, the last one at $850,000 and this one about $100k overpriced takes away from the entire shopping or even dreaming experience. If it's just not real then it has little benefit for viewers. I was more impressed earlier on when you gave real people hope, or something to shoot for.

A Pristine example. That's how used boats should be presented for sail and not like some of the pig sties I've encountered. My only niggle externally is that those wide roomy side-decks are cluttered with mast stays. The Hans Christian 33 still beats it hands-down in terms of accommodation, bearing in mind that it's 5ft shorter...

@Mike7O7O Жыл бұрын

Don't get your logic in videoing this boat guys. I 'get' how well presented it is. However, if it is priced anywhere near $100k above similar advertised boats (see earlier comment), to my mind, that's somewhat of a deal breaker. However, I hope it finds a good home.
