The Bristol 19, often recognized by its original name, the Sailstar Corinthian 19, is a quintessential Carl Alberg design that embodies the transition from wood to fiberglass in the mid-1960s. Originally produced by the Sailstar Boat Company before the brand was absorbed by Bristol Yachts, this 19.5-foot sloop served as a cornerstone of Clinton Pearson’s early lineup. With its elegant, springy sheer line, significant overhangs, and full keel, the Bristol 19 is frequently described as a "pocket cruiser" or a robust daysailer. Approximately 700 units were produced between 1966 and 1980, securing its place as a popular one-design racer and coastal explorer in regions like Marblehead and the Chesapeake Bay.
