Does anybody else out there have a Bristol 28? Or know anybody that has? There is no info on this boat on the AOL Bristol owners group (they show 27 & 29 but no 28)

As I''m sure you probably know, the boat you''re looking at is a Contest. Heavily built, variety of keels, nice woodwork belowdecks. I almost bought a ''70''s Contest 31 with a Scheel keel years ago. Nice little boat, mucho gelcoat crazing. Search for Contest boats in Yachtworld, Soundings and the Contest website.

Our neighbor had a Bristol 28, which he was trying to sell last I heard. Don''t know if he did, but he now has a Bristol 35.5.

I have hull#6 of only 8 built.They are actually the 29.9 in every way with the exception of a reversed transom..done as a means to shorten loa and gain advantage with rating.She is moored in Wickford R.I.and sailed year round.Built in 1972,she is completely original with the exception of dodger,sails,and interior cushions.
