The Bristol 31.1 represents a significant evolution in the history of Bristol Yachts, marking the transition from the narrow, traditional full-keel designs of Carl Alberg to the more modern, performance-oriented cruising philosophies of the Ted Hood design group. Introduced in the late 1970s and produced into the early 1980s, the 31.1 was the smallest entry in what is often called the "Second Generation" or "Point-One" series, which included siblings like the 35.5, 38.8, 41.1, 45.5, and 47.7. Designed primarily by Dieter Empacher while he was part of Ted Hood’s design team, the 31.1 was engineered to offer the sea-kindliness of a heavy cruiser with the enhanced speed and pointing ability afforded by modern underbody shapes.
