The Bristol CHANNEL CUTTER is a 1976-present cutter-rigged sailboat designed by Lyle C. Hess, featuring a long keel with a transom-hung rudder. It measures 11.5 meters LOA, with a 3.1-meter beam, 1.5-meter draft, and 6350 kg displacement. Cape George Cutter Marine Works, Inc. currently builds the model in the USA, with some built in Canada. Aboard *Adventureman Dan*, a 1978 Bristol CHANNEL CUTTER named *Artha* was seen as a 28-foot LOD bluewater sloop with a 10-foot beam and 4-foot-10-inch draft, extended to over 37 feet overall by a 6-foot bowsprit and a boomkin. *Artha*'s sole owner, Nicole, refitted the boat over 14 months after purchasing it in neglected condition, including blister removal, rudder and bowsprit rebuilds, copper coating, and a rigging overhaul.guarda The boat's galley uses an electric inverter, and a watermaker produces two gallons per hour. *Artha* carries a 45-pound Mantus anchor with 120 feet of 3/8-inch chain and 175 feet of half-inch nylon rode.3:42 Nicole cited the physical and mental toll of single-handed passage-making, including an impeller failure and navigation system loss in the Bahamas, as reasons for selling *Artha*. *Lady K Sailing* mentioned the Falmouth CUTTER 22, also designed by Lyle Hess, as a capable, ocean-worthy sailboat under 28 feet.4:09
