More details about the Bristol 35 can be found at link .. Equipment: Sails: The mainsail and roller furling jib have been stored since being washed and completely reconditioned in 2006. There is also a racing jib that we never used. Westerbeke 20 HP Diesel Tasco propane stove model 555LP (3 burners, oven) 1991 Raytheon VHF 4500 radar Navico Wheelpilot WP500 autopilot (never installed) Navman 3100 Depth meter/transducer (never installed) Teak cockpit table Customized teak dining table in cabin Complete set of plans/blueprints Boxes of new lines, misc equipment, fenders, reference books, equipment manuals, paints, finishes, furnishings, etc. Detailed Description and Current Condition: EXTERIOR: -None of the seacocks were replaced. All were functioning. -The depth meter did not function. We bought a Navman 3100 about 6-7 years ago but it has not been installed. -When we hauled out our new boat, we found a poorly done hull repair on the starboard side, so the repair was cut out and reaccomplished professionally. -The bottomsides were taken down to the gelcoat and redone, and the hull and bootstrap were repainted. Cockpit: -Green cushions have a couple of what look like ink stains on them, but are otherwise serviceable. -Transom locker stores two propane tanks. -There is a very nice teak cockpit table with cupholders that attaches to the wheel. -There is a compass connected to the steering wheel base. It looks like it has lost some of the compass fluid as there is a big bubble on the top, so it will need to be refilled. -There are fasteners that probably went to a dodger. Deck: -All standing and running rigging was functioning when she was hauled out. We did not replace anything. There are plenty of quirks in how the running rigging was laid out, so rerouting some lines was high up on our to-do list. -The roller furling jib worked but newer technology was on our list. -The boom has the original non-functioning furling/reefing system. -There is a functioning lazy jack system for the mainsail. -The masthead light was not functioning. When it was unstepped, we saw that the problem appears to be the mast-end plug. It will need work. We have a new chainplate that was fabricated after loosing the original. INTERIOR: -All interior lockers and areas that have been painted were done with Yacht Enamel Light Oyster. -The cushions are a burgundy wine color, though they look to be hot pink in some of the pictures. They are in tolerable shape. It was definitely on my list to replace the foam and covers, but it has more to do with age/esthetics than functionality. V-berth: -Cabinet interiors were repainted and cabinet doors refinished. Two berth lights were replaced. Rest of wood could use a coating. -The starboard v-berth cushion needs it’s zipper repaired. Head: -It has a dark water storage tank that we don’t think was ever used. There was a hose connecting the head with a 5 gal plastic container, that was used to meet holding tank requirements. We took out the toilet and starboard cabinetry (to facilitate the hull and associated bulkhead repair). The toilet worked just fine and we still have it, but had wanted to put in a Lectrosan macerating version, so didn’t reinstall it. The area under and behind the toilet has been repainted. -There is a space in the floor for draining the shower and I think that the uninstalled “Lovett bilge pump” may be associated with it, but am sure there’s something much more modern to replace it with. -The sink and associated cabinets are fine and had no problems with their functioning. There are some new teak items to mount (soap holder, toothbrush holder, etc.). -The port locker was repainted. -A starboard light was removed and needs replacing. The light above the sink is fine. Cabin: -Starboard cabinets/bench and part of flooring were removed to facilitate the hull and bulkhead repair. All is back together, but that part of the floor needs to be sanded and finished. The trim on the cabinets and around the door to head also needs to be reglued/replaced. (We have everything that came off of it.) -We had the teak dining table customized so that it could stay out all of the time without intruding into the walkway. -The inside of the cabinets need painting. The woodwork is in good shape, but as always could use a coating with Cetol or similar protectant. -A starboard light was removed and needs to be replaced. Galley: -The sink has both manual and electric pump for water. -The three-burner propane stove worked great as did the oven. -The cabinet interiors need repainting. The formica-type countertops have some marks/stains that I’ve never really tried to remove. With the right product, I think they could clean up quite nicely. -The icebox/cooler is of ample size and drains into the bilge. We wanted to upgrade to refrigeration for liveaboard comfort, but it was down towards the bottom of the list, as you might imagine. -The Westerbeke engine was completely serviced and winterized after haulout. We had it on our wish list to rebuild or replace, but Raynes Marine said it was in good shape and there was no reason to do more. The alternator was replaced in 2005. -The VHF radio is old (1996) but functioned. -Originally we intended to replace all wiring, but then thought that blowing the wiring off at the electrical box would suffice; we never got to it, so it will need to be gone through. OTHER: Sails: -Mainsail and roller furling jib completely reconditioned- cleaned, restitched, new battens- and are quite serviceable, so replacements were definitely lower on the wish list. -There is also a racing jib that we never used. Other: -Per previous owner, fuel tank was replaced in 1999. -New technology probably makes the 1999 Rayethon VHF radar and the 1995 Navico Wheelpilot WP 500 autopilot obsolete, but perhaps they have some use. -There are containers of new replacement lines, galley furnishings, paints, finishes, fenders, and other items that we kept or bought for the upgrades.
