bristol 30 sailboat

The Bristol 30 is a 30.0ft masthead sloop designed by Halsey Herreshoff and built in fiberglass by Bristol Yachts between 1968 and 1978.

174 units have been built..

The Bristol 30 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.

Review of Bristol 30

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The Bristol 30 has been built with different keel alternatives.

One option is a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.37 - 1.47 meter (4.49 - 4.79 ft) dependent on the load.

CentreBoard

Another option is a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.

The keel is also made of lead.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.01 - 1.11 meter (3.31 - 3.61 ft) dependent on the load.

Bristol 30 is typically equipped with an inboard Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine at 30 hp (22 kW). Calculated max speed is about 6.6 knots

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.4 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

Bristol 30 up to 34

• Add to quote

I am thinking of buying a Bristol, 30 to 34 ft range. Initially to live on, but eventually would like to do some ocean cruising, Chesapeake Bay to Bermuda, Bay to Europe etc. Anyone heard of delamination problems? Any other major problems to be aware of? Diesel engine is a must for me, I don't like gas or the Atomic 4. If there are other helpful threads you can point out, I will look them up, thanks  

Realize that there are a lot of differences in the various Bristols in this range. The designers included, H. Herreshoff, Ted Hood, and Dieter Empacher. The below the water line, there were full keels, fin keels, and centerboards. Some had skeg attached rudders, and some not. There may be more similar to each other in build quality, but, I can't speak to that.  

I've got a Bristol 29.9 (the 29.9 is the second gen Bristol 30) designed by H. Herreshoff. I have found it to be very well built and beautiful. I've had no problems related to the build quality or structure of the boat. What exactly did you want to know about these boats?  

I am curious if the boats had any delamination problems. A friend from work had a 30 and told me they did. I have not seen this discussed in other Bristol sites, it is a problem I would rather not have to deal with.  

Any boat with core (and all boats in this size will at least have a cored deck) have the potential for delamintion. I am not that familiar with Bristols but have never heard they were more prone than any other boats. Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2  

If water penetrates into a cored deck, it will delaminate. If everything is cared for properly, it won't. I don't think that this is a problem with Bristol, if anything they have a reputation for quality building practices. They are older boats and builder processes have improved over the years. I have been lead to believe that during the time Bristol was building boats, they always followed best practices.  

Ted Hood's Bristol 32 is one of the most beautiful production yachts in that size range ever built, IMHO... I had the great pleasure of meeting the late John Atkisson, and getting the full tour of KESTREL, about 5 years ago in Beaufort, as he was wrapping up his 2-year Atlantic Circle... Like the Contessa 32, a rather small interior, but an absolutely wonderful boat overall... His survived a collison with a large fishing vessel enroute to Ireland, with relatively minimal damage... Tough little boat... Good blog, well worth a look: S/V Kestrel - The Boat  

I bought a 1975 Bristol 32 two seasons ago. I thought I had a delamination in the vicinity of the through hulls in the head area. I didn't. The decks seem to be plywood cored. I don't have any delam issues. If you read enough about the 32 you will learn that they like to heal to 20 to 30 degrees which is how that type was designed. The only hull related repair that I've done is rebuild the rudder pin. After thirty some years it was sloppy. I love the deck space, the huge cooler, and the way she handles. I'm still getting used to the keel, having had modern fins in the past. This mostly has to do with backing out of the slip. There aren't many of these on the west coast and I get lots of questions. On the east coast I don't imagine that happens as much. She rides soft and now that I know her better, I plan to push her a little more this year. Hope you get one you love. Jim

It has the quarter berth and the lazarette as well. they started building the 30's in 68. Mine is a 1970, #98. Has anyone heard of a 30 footer built resembling a 29? I am thinking I may have a 29 and somebody goofed on the title. thanks 02-12-2013, 16:02   Boat: Watkins 29' 02-12-2013, 16:31   changed from state to another state, or documented to state. As long as the number is right, don't worry about it. 05-12-2013, 14:05   Boat: Tayana 37 are in the top. The B30 is standing room down below most all the way forward because the top doesn't drop down like the B29. I think there are some other minor differences between some cabinets and things, but other than that it's all the same hull and below the waterline. 06-12-2013, 09:35   a1970 hull number 152 06-12-2013, 15:07   06-12-2013, 16:17   Boat: Bristol 34 06-12-2013, 19:46   share a few pic's 07-12-2013, 12:13   Boat: Looking... 07-12-2013, 16:39   Boat: Bristol 34 08-12-2013, 20:55   12-12-2013, 05:22   Boat: Tayana 37 12-12-2013, 06:52   Boat: bristol 29 it has not been updated in a while but there is a large number of boats registered there. Mine is one of the few that has made it to the pacific nw. i have her right now all fittings pulled. Rebedding the , going to put new non-skid down. Only i found so far was in the bulkhead at the back of the quarter berth. Seems to be leaking from the stern rail mount. Also getting new hull and . I am also going to change to external chain plates. As close to the rail as the lowers are i won't lose any measurable pointing. Anyone else made this change out there? 12-12-2013, 07:05   Boat: bristol 29 progresses.

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 Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement Ratio 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 SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay). D : Displacement in pounds. Ballast / Displacement Ratio 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 Displacement / Length Ratio 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 D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL: Waterline length in feet Comfort Ratio 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.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) D: Displacement of the boat in pounds LOA: Length overall in feet Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet Capsize Screening Formula 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.
