BRISTOL 33.3 - Bristol New Ideas Tempered By Tradition

Gratifying Comfort In A Performance Cruiser The Bristol 33.3 combines the classically modern design of Deiter Empacher with the meticulous craftmanship of Bristol Yachts in a responsive yet comfortable racer-cruiser. With her efficient hull design, the 33.3 features the graceful lines and comfortable layout which provide an uncramped, uncluttered feeling when above or below decks. This proven design epitomizes the obsessive concern for quality of workmanship and structural integrity built into every Bristol Yacht. Here's what to look for!

Hull & Deck:
Molded high-impact fiberglass reinforced polyester resin…largely woven roving, strongest material available. Hull and deck thickness vary to suit structural demands. Deckhouse, deck and cockpit are integrally molded. Deck clamp and cove stripe molded with hull. Non-skid pattern molded into deck, seats cabin top and cockpit. Deck layout reflects careful planning. Opening hatch forward is large enough to permit handling sailbags. Molded sea hood is standard and molded rail from sea hood aft is perfect mount for dodger. All rails, coaming covers and trim are teak…furnished natural, sealed or varnished (optional).

Main Salon:
Featuring a large dining table (bulkhead mounted) and generous seating for a comfortable living area below decks. The main salon aptly demonstrates both attention to detail provided by Bristol craftsmen and the open space look of Ted Hood's design. The beautifully varnished interior comes in you choice of teak or mahogany (Brunzeel bulkheads and Honduras trim) while the extension settee berths to port and starboard provide the type of accommodations one comes to expect from a Bristol.

Forward Cabin:
With its traditional V-berth arrangement and selection of fine woods hand-crafted into the closets, berths and dovetailed drawers; the forward stateroom epitomizes the quality workmanship Bristol has built its reputation on. There is also separate access to a well appointed head with hot and cold pressure water and shower.

Navigation Area:
Combining a seakindly quarter berth with a full-sized chart table, the 33.3's navigation area is designed and built for the seagoing skipper. There is ample room for chart storage under the large lift-top table and outboard shelves easily handle books and electronic equipment.

Galley:
The spacious and efficient galley is located adjacent to the companionway for good ventilation and to keep the cook in close contact with the cockpit. Built in a U-shape, this area combines large counter surfaces and ample storage space with a deep sink (hot and cold pressure water), large ice box and three burner alcohol stove with oven (propane-optional).
