The Bristol 41.1 represents the pinnacle of the "second generation" of Bristol Yachts, a period where the builder transitioned from the narrow, Alberg-inspired full-keelers of the 1960s toward the sophisticated, performance-oriented cruising designs of Ted Hood. Introduced in 1981 and remaining in production for over a decade, the 41.1 was designed to balance the contradictory requirements of shallow-water accessibility and blue-water stability. It achieved this through Hood’s signature "Stoway" mast systems and a versatile centerboard configuration. Constructed in Bristol, Rhode Island, the vessel earned a reputation as a "gentleman’s cruiser," characterized by its heavy hand-laid fiberglass schedule, extensive use of structural bulkheads, and an interior finished with a level of joinery that rivaled more expensive European semi-custom builds.
