The Bristol 24 Corsair, originally designed by Paul Coble in 1964, represents a pivotal moment in the transition from Sailstar Boat Company to Clint Pearson’s Bristol Yachts. Born from the burgeoning fiberglass revolution of the 1960s, this "pocket cruiser" was an immediate commercial success, with over 120 orders placed at the New York Boat Show following its debut. Between 1964 and 1983, approximately 750 hulls were produced, making it one of the most prolific models of its era. Often referred to simply as the Bristol 24, the boat maintained its "Corsair" moniker from its Sailstar origins, where it was initially built with concrete and iron ballast before Bristol transitioned to encapsulated lead. Its reputation is built on a "little big boat" philosophy, offering fullsized cruising amenities in a compact, seaworthy frame.
