The Bristol 56.6 represents the pinnacle of the Rhode Island builder’s "second generation" philosophy, blending the robust, overbuilt heritage of Clint Pearson’s yard with the sophisticated performanceoriented naval architecture of the Ted Hood design group. Often regarded as the flagship of the Bristol line alongside the nearly identical 54.4 and later 57 models, the 56.6 was conceived as a highend semicustom performance cruiser. It was designed to cater to a demographic that demanded bluewater capability, a shallowdraft centerboard configuration for Caribbean cruising, and an interior finish that rivaled European contemporaries like Hinckley or Little Harbor.
