Ted Hood / Dieter Empacher design, one of the first offerings of Bristol Yachts. Built by Clinton Pearson, a pioneer of fiberglass boat building. This model features a centerboard and yawl rig combination and is fully outfitted for off shore blue-water cruising with the safety features of an offshore boat. This boat get compliments in every harbor and port of call and is easy to recognize with its custom Blue Moon graphic on the Mizzen sail. I can’t help myself and look back at this boat every time I leave her. Re-varnished Mahogany and Teak interior, Cabin sole with a wrap around collapsible dinette featuring folding leaf’s for comfortable access. A spacious head with shower. The cabin interior, deck, cabin top and cockpit have been re-painted / varnished over the last 8 years. All ports and windows replaced / upgraded with stronger windows and opening ports. Two huge cockpit lockers for stowage. Flag Blue Hull (Awl grip) Boat has been hauled every year and maintained. Masts were last pulled in 2016 for full rigging inspection, Chain plates replaced. Centerboard cable inspected every year and last replaced in 2015. Mizzen was upgraded with stronger mast and mizzen chain plates were increased from 1/4” to 3/16”. Main Boom replaced with new Spar with internal sheaves along with new gooseneck to support running lines to cockpit. All sails (Squeteague Sailmakers) replaced since 2013-2014. Engine was last rebuilt in 2001, and last pulled for inspection, new gaskets, oil seals in 2016. 30 Gallon Diesel tank on new saddles / retaining straps cleaned & Pressure tested in 2018, 90 gallons of water in 2 tanks (1 new 2017), 20 gallon holding tank. A full list of inspections, maintenance and upgrades since 2007 is available upon request. We have owned / loved BLUEMOON for 11 years and have recently decided to get another Bristol based on the excellent experience we had with her.

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)
See BRISTOL 40.
