Bristol Channel Cutter, 28ft legendary off-shore sailing yacht, meticulously maintained by a marine professional with all the bells and whistles to go off shore safely and comfortably. Solid hand laid reinforced fiberglass hull, round bilge with full length keel. Sails built by PT Sails, extensive bronze hardware throughout, glued teak decks and all exterior woodwork replaced by Jespersen Boatbuilders in 2018. Comes with a full complement of custom made rain covers that allows all year round live-aboard comfort.
