Whistler

Cruisers Whistler

If you are seeking a classic cruising sailboat in this size and price range, you will be hard-pressed to find one as gorgeous, well-maintained, and thoughtfully upgraded as Whistler. Now attractively priced at $59,000, she represents one of the strongest values currently available among Bristol 40s.

This 1981 Bristol 40 keel/centerboard sloop (Hull #130 of 149 built) has been continuously maintained and consistently upgraded, not left to accumulate deferred projects. She was actively sailed this past season and remains in true cruising condition — a boat that has been used, cared for, and improved rather than stored and neglected.

The Bristol 40 is a well-regarded Ted Hood design — carefully planned, solidly constructed, and capable of taking you cruising in timeless style. The Cruising Club of America declared the Bristol 40 one of the best monohull cruising vessels of all time, and Whistler is an excellent example of why.

She is ideally suited as a comfortable coastal cruiser for a couple, offering classic lines, a manageable sail plan, and versatility with her keel/centerboard configuration.

Notable features and upgrades include:

· New sails and running rigging

· Newer Raymarine electronics with radar

· Dockside water-cooled heat/AC system

· Electric head with freshwater flush

· Shoal 4’ draft board up with 7’10” board down
