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 mid1960s. Originally produced by the Sailstar Boat Company before the brand was absorbed by Bristol Yachts, this 19.5foot 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 onedesign racer and coastal explorer in regions like Marblehead and the Chesapeake Bay.
