Bristol 30
5 / 36 - score 59%
The Bristol 30 is a 30.0ft masthead sloop designed by Halsey Herreshoff and built in fiberglass by Bristol Yachts between 1968 and 1978.
174 units have been built.
The Bristol 30 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
