1973 24 foot Bristol Yachts 30 Ketch

Halsey Herreshoff s Bristol 30 slashes through water with a clean steady cut. No bobbing all over. Halsey designed the 30 with an extra long keel (rudder attached) to give you exceptional balance and response. No more over-steer or fighting the helm as in spade rudder configurations. And the 30 s hollow waterline add that much more go. The Bristol 30 also seems bigger than many other 30 s. She s actually more comfortable with lots of headroom and a big roomy cockpit so the crew can speed up the action without bumping into each other. Designer Halsey C.
