The Bristol 39 and Bristol 40, designed by Ted Hood and built in Rhode Island, are traditional, narrow-beam cruisers currently available on the used market for approximately $40,000.0:25 These CCA-era designs feature solid fiberglass hulls, encapsulated lead keels, and inward-flange hull-to-deck joints.4:55 Because they were built to the Cruising Club of America (CCA) rulebook, the boats possess long overhangs and narrow beams, resulting in a design that heels quickly and requires early reefing.4:05 Owners should anticipate maintenance typical of 40- to 50-year-old vessels, specifically regarding deck-core moisture, chainplate fatigue, and aging electrical or plumbing systems.5:46 The interior volume is modest compared to modern cruisers of similar length, and the aperture-mounted propeller requires practice for close-quarters maneuvering.6:41 While the boats offer a stable, sea-kindly motion offshore, their positive riding moment is lower than that of modern, wide-body cruisers.6:41 Prospective buyers should prioritize inspecting rigging and cockpit drainage, as the latter may require upgrades for offshore safety.7:46
