Seller's Description
Very clean Bristol 32 that has a factory installed cutter rig and bow sprit. Decks and hull are solid with no soft spots. Topsides and deck are in ex.cond and show nicely. Edson wheel steering really adds room to the cockpit. Universal 5424 diesel engine that was inspected and maintained by boatyard. Runs solid and burns very little oil. Projects that need completion are to install new LED lights (cabin/exterior) and panel. Head was removed to be replaced with new unit. Gorgeous wood that is being sanded and varnished prior to sale. Boat is located on Lk. Champlain. 90% complete, but daysails and runs beautifully now! Yard maintained winterization. Sail inventory to be updated soon, but includes spinnaker, storm jib, 150 and 135 %. Main sail in good cond. too. Photos to be uploaded soon.
Equipment: The hull and deck were the main reason we purchased her. All through-hulls have been upgraded to modern standards and the engine has been maintained by a boatyard. The interior is also very clean with beautiful woodwork throughout. Items needing completion are a new head that needs to be installed and new wiring for the mast. We’re also installing a new panel with LED’s in the cabin and nav lights too. As is, the boat runs and sails beautifully, albeit, only legal in the daylight. The plan is to complete these items soon. New V berth and settee cushions in navy blue are also included, but not pictured. There’s a new Garmin GNX 20 that reads many functions such as wind direction, speed, and depth. It is currently newly wired with a brand new depth gauge. All exterior woodwork is also beautiful and being sanded and varnished and rebedding the hardware where necessary. Chain plates are solid and the bige always stays dry. There is a drain plug in the bottom of the keel that makes winterizing much easier. The Edson wheel steering has been inspected and the boat has an extra tiller if needed too.The B32 resembles a Hinckley Pilot and gets lots of compliments. We’ll update the listing soon as we’re going through the extensive sail inventory and photos

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
5.8 kn
Classic: 6.29 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
15.3
<16: under powered
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
36.1
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
451.9
>400: very heavy
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
33.0
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
