1985 Bristol 35.5C

Mandeville, Louisiana

$29,900

It's a Bristol!

The name says it all.  If you're looking for a solid cruiser that only draws 3.9 feet (with the centerboard up), then Bluebird is your boat.  

With a name to back up its quality and design, Bluebird will get you on your way in style and comfort.  Her AC will keep you cool at dockside, and her centerboard will get you where you want to go in the shallow waters of the Gulf Coast.  
The transmission was replaced about 10 years ago, and the engine was serviced regularly by the owner.  She has a wheel-mounted autopilot ready to be installed, and her bottom was last painted about 4 years ago.

Bluebird's bimini, dodger and cabin and cockpit cushions are in excellent condition.  

The owners have enjoyed Bluebird for over twelve years, but have decided it's time to let someone else enjoy her.    And with her spacious cabin (6' 2" headroom), lots and lots of storage, you'll agree that Bluebird is the perfect cruiser for a budget-minded  sailor.

Bluebird features an impressive inventory of sails -- mainsail, 135 genoa, 155 genoa, staysail, storm jib and spinnaker.
All three batteries are less than one year old.
