1970 Bristol 24 Sailboat built by Seastar in Bristol RI. Powered with a 6hp 2016 Tohatsu, with low hours that is in motor well at the transom and was serviced this season. In overall the boat is in good shape and is in the water on Mount Desert Island, Maine, being sailed weekly. I recently just spent 4 days sailing her around Deere Isle! This is a fantastic boat for day sailing and weekending with plenty of bunk space, a working head, ice box, and sink (has water tank that is plumbed but needs to have a new faucet). The headsail is on a harken line furler that leads back to the cockpit. For its age its a great looking boat that I have put a decent amount of work into, but is obviously not perfect. Over the years I have rebeded a lot of hardware, done fiberglass work to the reinforce and standing rigging attachments, and kept up with exterior wood trim varnish work. She could use more interior trim work depending on how fussy you are, some revamped cushions, and a new set of sails, that would really get her sailing nicely. Every now and then I find myself chasing a deck leak, but otherwise she is a surprisingly dry boat. Happy to answer any questions! Hope she can find a good new home! Reason for selling, is on to the next one!
Equipment: Start Battery for basic electrical (running lights, cabin lights, phone charger) Potable water tank (needs to faucet fixture, but has plumbing) Working Head Plumbed overboard Danforth Anchor with an amount of rope and chain (unsure of exact quantities).

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
