The Bristol 40 is a classic 1970s-1980s Ted Hood-designed sailboat, renowned for its seaworthiness, solid build, and blue-water cruising capabilities. Available as a sloop, cutter, or yawl, it features a fiberglass hull with a fixed modified long keel (and optional centerboard), a traditional teak interior accommodating up to six people, and a powerful helm controlled by an Edson wheel. These sturdy, well-mannered yachts are praised for their high-quality construction and ability to handle ocean crossings, making them a popular choice for serious sailors.
