This Bristol is an excellent example of a well loved classic. These boats were designed to sail well in all conditions by Carl Alberg, and built by Bristol yachts to perform in all conditions, and to last through the ages. She has spent her last five years stored inside. The photographs you see are from fall 2011 in storage.   She is now in Maine. Though she needed little work, we have been giving her a freshening up. Keep an eye out for new photos of her in her polished glory.   She comes with a 9.9HP long shaft outboard that mounts into the hidden engine well.

How does the charter/sale arrangement work?

Most boats can be purchased for their current appraised value or chartered on a long term basis (minimum three years) with an option to purchase. The purchase price of chartered vessels is usually established at the beginning of the lease and reflects the anticipated market value of the boat three years hence. If a charterer elects to exercise the option and purchase the vessel at the end of the charter, all charter payments are credited against the agreed upon purchase price. There are no interest charges or financing fees, etc. The charterer may also choose not to exercise his or her purchase option, in which case the security deposit will be returned.  Charter payments will be kept as charter hire. Broker commissions are generally paid in full at the commencement of the charter. For more information, please contact us by email or call us at (401) 842-0752.
