1979 Bristol B32

Galesville, Maryland

$19,000

This well maintained and updated Bristol 32 is a classic, seaworthy cruiser. "Danny Marie" is a masthead sloop with a keel/centerboard configuration, and she's in excellent, ready to sail condition. Her minimum draft of 3 ft 6 in is ideal for the shallow waters of the Chesapeake. Auxiliary power is provided by a reliable 15 HP Yanmar 2QM15 diesel engine (oil and fuel filters recently replaced). Standing and running rigging are in great condition. The current owner installed a new fully battened main sail and Bimini three years ago, new lazy jacks two years ago, and a new dodger just one year ago.

The cabin, which is beautifully finished in teak, features a v-berth, a marine head, hanging locker, and a spacious saloon with a drop-down table, which converts to a comfortable berth (see pictures). There's also a nice galley to starboard. You'll have the tankage for extended cruising with a 100-gallon freshwater tank, a 26-gallon fuel tank and a 20-gallon holding tank. This is a very capable coastal cruiser that's priced below market value. If you’re looking for a seaworthy classic in fantastic condition, this is a must-see sailboat.
