Bristol boats

Bristol Yacht Company was started by Clinton Pearson, one of the Pearson cousins who had also started the large and successful production builder Pearson Yachts, in Rhode Island. Clint left Pearson and started his own venture in 1964. Over the years, renowned designers associated with the Bristol brand included Carl Alberg, Halsey Herreshoff, Paul Coble and Ted Hood of America’s Cup fame. The yard built over 4,440 boats of 22 to72 feet before eventually folding in 1997. Hood’s decimal series of centerboard sailers, 27.7 to 51.1, can still be seen on the water and enjoy a reputation for both speed and a seakindly motion.
