1981 Bristol Channel Cutter 28

The Bristol Channel Cutter, built by the Sam L. Morse Co, is a masterpiece of boatbuilding and is listed by Ferenc Mate as one of "World's Best Sailboats." This beautiful Lyle Hess design is based on the English Pilot Cutters that were the work boats of bygone days and the attention to detail is evident throughout. The timeless design with traditional lines and graceful sheer make her a head-turner in any harbour. These Bristol Channel Cutters are longed for and sought after with a cult like following. The solid construction features a full keel and robust fiberglass hull offering exceptional stability and seaworthiness along with superb sailing performance and the ability to carry the gear needed for cruising the world. A unique opportunity exists to own ‘Shaula’ after she was extensively upgraded by her second owner in preparation to sail the Meditteranean and the owners plans changed. If you are in the market for a Bristol Channel Cutter 28 with plans of blue water cruising, I encourage you to explore the great opportunity this boat represents. Features: New sails by Frank Schauttauer Yanmar 27hp diesel engine Aries windvane New winches, new lines and rigging, new anchor, new Vesper AIS/VHF, new cushions, new canvas, new LED running and anchor lights.
