Entering the boat down the companionway - you are immediately greeted by a bright varnished teak & holly sole, abundant varnished cabinetry throughout and brilliant natural light from the clear ports and hatches.
The Galley is immediately to port in a u-shaped arrangement. It is equipped with a three-burner stove located centrally, a double deep stainless sink facing forward with mixing faucet and separate spray nozzle. There is also a water filter for drinking water. A deep refrigerator is facing aft fitted with 12V refrigeration. There is plenty of storage with louvered door cabinets and custom teak holders for cups and glasses and knives.
To starboard and also aft is a long quarter berth that stretches under the cockpit. The berth also doubles as a seat for the fixed nav-desk that faces forward. The nav desk opens for chart storage and there is a set of four drawers for storage.
The main salon is amidships and features straight settees port and starboard, which pulls out for a wider berth. A beautifully varnished teak drop-leaf table is along the center-line, with bottle and cutlery storage in a compartment in the center of the table. Storage space is abundant in the main salon with storage compartments under the settees, two cabinets and bookshelves on both port and starboard. There is also a deep hanging locker and four further drawers to starboard. All of the cabinets and lockers have chromed hinges and beautiful teak louvered doors which were an upgrade from Bristol. The brilliant teak & holly sole is in excellent condition.
Forward of the main salon to port is the head compartment that is trimmed in teak also. There is a 2021 C-Head Composting Toilet, porcelain sink, four cabinets, large mirror on the bulkhead. Two opening ports provide ventilation to the head.
All the way forward is the master cabin that is fitted with an offset v-berth that has a removable filler that can be stored above the berth when not needed. There is a hanging locker, four drawers and sliding cabinets above the berth on either side. There is a large opening hatch directly over the berth that provides ventilation and natural lighting. Each berth is equipped with a variable speed fan.
Solid fiberglass hull with vinylester resin in the outer most laminates. Fiberglass decks with molded in nonskid and balsa coring for added stiffness and weight reduction. One of the nice build details in the Bristol 38.8 is that the factory cut back the coring in way of primary deck penetrations and back filled with epoxy greatly mitigating the chances of moisture getting to coring in the event of a leak.
The exterior of the Bristol 38.8 is as nicely detailed as the interior. A generous cockpit with large sail locker to port and lazarette aft provides ample room for storage and seating. Wide side decks allow for ease of movement fore and aft. Varnished teak cockpit coamings, toe rails, grab rails and brow on the house give the yacht a look of elegance. Double stainless steel bow and stern rails and stanchions with double lifelines and gates P&S. A flip down stainless swim/boarding ladder is at the stern.
