The Bristol 29.9, launched in 1977 and produced until 1986, marks a pivotal era in the history of Bristol Yachts. Moving away from the narrow-beam, Alberg-style traditionalism that defined its early years, the company commissioned legendary designer Ted Hood to create a more modern, voluminous, and performant 30-foot cruiser. With approximately 200 hulls built, the 29.9 successfully targeted the "sweet spot" of the coastal cruising market, offering a level of interior volume and structural robustness that few competitors in its size class could match. Unlike its predecessor, the Halsey Herreshoff-designed Bristol 29, the 29.9 was significantly beamier and utilized a more efficient underbody, making it a "second-generation" Bristol that remains a favorite on the used market for its "overbuilt" reputation and elegant lines.
