The Bristol 47.7 represents the zenith of the "second generation" of yachts from the Bristol Yacht Company, marking a transition from the traditional full-keel Alberg designs of the 1960s to high-performance, keel-centerboard cruisers. Designed by the office of Ted Hood—specifically under the lead of naval architect Dieter Empacher—the 47.7 was produced from approximately 1989 until 1994. It was conceived as an evolution of the Bristol 45.5, sharing the same primary hull mold but featuring an extended stern and a more traditional transom compared to the 45.5’s reverse transom.
