Bristol 29 A restoration site for owners and admirers of Bristol Yachts
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- This site details all the work I have done to my '71 Bristol 29 and all the work I will do from this point forward. The boat and I started out with old blown out sails, funky roller reefing that never worked, useless aluminum Southcoast winches, and an antique Volvo MD2B rated at 12 hp but throwing only a 12-inch diameter prop so that its effective usefulness was about 4 hp at the shaft. The boat had sat on a mooring during the sailing seasons in New England, and the old bronze sea cocks were mostly seized. The engine sported this Rube Goldberg water-jacketed copper exhaust muffler that must have weighed 150 pounds. It had a leaking water tank, too small of a fuel tank and a head that didn't work. I noted all this and just saw her beautiful lines and all that potential.
