Used Bristol 29 Sailboats for Sale

The searches provided a good amount of information.

Summary of findings from search:

• Designer: Halsey Herreshoff (confirmed by builder article and search results).
• Design Philosophy (Herreshoff): Halsey Herreshoff is known for designing modern yachts based on classic principles. His designs, including the Bristol 29, are often praised as "damn near perfect sailing boats". The Bristol 29.9, a later design by Herreshoff, was designed as a Midget Offshore Racing Class and International Offshore Rule boat, suggesting a performance orientation. While not directly for the 29, it hints at his approach.
• Variations: The notes already mentions "Keel/CB version BU: 3.3'/1.0m BD:5.8'/1.77m (listed dimensions for tall rig). (Shorter rig: I=34.16'/10.41m P=29.16'/8.89m)". Search results confirm a keel/centerboard version and a fixed keel version. There were also short and tall rig options.
• Sailing Performance and Handling: Owners have "absolutely no complaints" about the B29's abilities, noting it "will pinch amazingly high" even with poorly fitting sails. The large rudder provides "well mannered" handling and general satisfaction with speed. It is described as a "damn near perfect sailing boat".
• Accommodations and Layout: Limited direct detailed interior layout descriptions in the search results, but some hints. One owner mentioned a "navigation center built into the port side of the companionway". Another mentioned gutting the interior, which implies a standard layout that can be modified. There are references to "Compact Boat Interior Layout" for a similar model (Bristol 29.9) on Pinterest, which could suggest typical cruiser layouts. Without specific diagrams, a general description will be needed. The max_headroom_ft is null in the, so I cannot state a specific value.
• Owner's Perspectives: Owners praise Bristol boats for being "solid, seaworthy" and having "strong" hulls that last for years. They are seen as good "bones" for refurbishment. Owners love their Bristol 29s. Common issues aren't explicitly listed as "problems" but rather maintenance points typical of older boats, such as original deck fittings developing leaks (general Bristol issue mentioned in builder article, not specific to 29). One owner found the cockpit sole to flex, but no delamination or rot. Some discuss conversions from tiller to wheel steering.
