After a discouraging day of boat shopping, I was now looking for a drink. But then my wife, Terry, said, “There’s one” and pointed not at a bar but at yet another yacht brokerage. Although the boat behind the office was bigger than what we thought we wanted for daysailing and occasional overnights, Terry beckoned me aboard anyway. So began our love affair with a Bristol 34 that we named Peregrine.
Bristol Yachts produced sailboats from the drawing boards of several well-known designers. Halsey Herreshoff designed the Bristol 34, and between 1971 and 1978, Bristol built 70 of them.
Unfortunately, our boat had received little care for 10 years and could only be described as a project. We did our homework and, with a surveyor, made as complete an inventory as we could of its problems. The tally included most of the failings common to 25-year-old fiberglass boats: soggy deck, questionable rigging, blown-out sails, corroded electrical wiring, inoperative pumps, crazed gelcoat, peeling brightwork, and an overheating engine. On the positive side, the hull had no blisters. We also took the opportunity to sail on a sister ship, and that sold us.
The Bristol 34 has moderate overhangs, flare at the bow, ballast encapsulated in a modified fin keel, and a large skeg supporting the rudder. Like other Bristols, the 34 is of above-average quality with a solid fiberglass hull, balsa-cored decks, and a distinctive stainless-steel stemhead fitting that incorporates the anchor roller, bow chocks, and headstay chainplate. The single-spreader mast is stepped on the keel.
The cockpit seats six comfortably, but the steering pedestal, the wheel, and the traveler do cut off the rear third. The foredeck and side decks are uncluttered.
Below, the layout is conventional. To port of the companionway are a large chart table and a quarter berth. The small galley is opposite to starboard. Peregrine has port and starboard settees in the saloon with lockers above and behind both. (A dinette version was also available.) The port settee pulls out into a narrow double, and there’s provision for a pipe berth over the starboard settee. The dining table folds down from the main bulkhead. Forward, the athwartships head includes a toilet, a basin, a handheld shower, and a hanging locker. In the forward cabin, an insert converts the two berths to a queen-sized V-berth. Ventilation is through two large hatches, two dorade vents, and an opening port in the head.
Removing the companionway steps gives access to the front of the engine, and a panel in the quarter berth exposes its port side as well as the transmission and the stuffing box.
Peregrine handles easily. Somewhat tender initially, she settles down at 15 to 20 degrees of heel with little pressure on the helm. With good sails, she’s surprisingly quick in breezes above 5 knots. Although designed as a moderate-displacement racer/cruiser, the Bristol 34 is very seaworthy when properly equipped. At least one has sailed to Europe, and under previous owners, Peregrine sailed to Bermuda and the Caribbean. We want to take her back someday.
With reasonable care, Bristols age well. As usual, the level of maintenance received is reflected in asking prices, which range from $10,000 to $25,000.
Jim and Terry Fulton bought their Bristol 34, Peregrine, in 1999 and embarked on what became a two-year refit. They sail out of Solomons, Maryland.

Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Review of Bristol 34
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with 7 berths and toilet facility.
The Bristol 34 has been built with different keel alternatives.
One option is a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.68 - 1.78 meter (5.51 - 5.81 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Another option is a swing keel. A swing keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.
The keel is also made of lead.
Bristol 34 can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.22 - 1.32 meter (4.00 - 4.30 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Westerbeke diesel engine
The fuel tank has a capacity of 95.0 liters (25 US gallons, 20 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.8 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Bristol 34 is about 168 kg/cm, alternatively 944 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 168 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 944 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Sailing statistics
This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 29m 2 (312 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Bristol 34 ?

Does any one know anything about this boat, how well do they sail? Bristol Quality at this time of construction (1970? to 1979?) general information would be most helpful. Thanks bosailor
Not one responce? Does no one know anything about this design or builder? I''m looking to rebuild one that has been out of the water for the past 10 years or so, she needs lots of work but has nice lines which has me interested. This is what I know at this time. Designed by Halsey Herreshoff Perf of about 168 Loa 34''-3" LwL 26''-0" Beam 10''-5" Draft 5''-6" Displacement 11,500lbs Ballest 6000lbs Mast length 48'' and sail area 529sq ft. which reads to me that the boat would be stiffer and a little faster than a Catalina 30. and that the boats were generally well built. Look forward to hearing comments? bosailor
How much work does she need? Is the motor in ok shape? In short I have more questions than I could ever think in the way of answers. All I know about the Bristol is what I have heard. And that is the are one fine boat. Good luck with the project..
I am not a big fan of the early Bristols for a lot of reasons that really do not apply to this model. In the early 1970''s Bristol tooled up a whole line designed by Halsey Herreshoff and the 34 is one of those. These boats, while the early ones were not all that well built (pretty much on a par with Pearsons and Columbias of that era), were really excellent sailing boats that when typically sold in good shape in the mid-$20k range offered a lot of boat for the money. Jeff
Where are you sailing? 500 some square feet does not sound like a lot of sail area for a boat this size in a light-air area.
Addtl info, for comparison: Sabre 34: PHRF approx 153. SA 507sq'', disp. 10300 lbs. C&C 35 III: PHRF approx 114. SA 571sq'', disp. 10,800. Tartan 34 (70''s version) PHRF approx 150; Tartan 34 II PHRF approx 135. SA 536sq'', disp. 11,000 lbs. It looks like the Bristol is a heavy boat. If you''ve got heavy breezes, it could work.
Fin keel, spade rudder version? Built much better than Columbias of similar vintage. The Columbias invariably had terrible print-through in the hull layups and a high variation in build quality. I can usually identify a Columbia because I can see the roving through the paint, particularly in a dark boat. The Pearson brothers split circa 1966, one stayed with the buyer of Pearson, Grumman Aircraft, the other started Bristol Yachts. I guess I can''t say that overall there''s a huge difference in build quality in those years, but I went with Bristol. Again, and again, and again, if you like the boat, the hull is good, and it''s what you can afford, it''s up to you. Go sailing. Wait around too long and you''ll wind up with nothing. Calculate rebuild expenses carefully. Start with floating/sinking, go to locomotion, then instrumentation/electronics, then safety gear, then comforts. The Bristol 34 is the large end of the lighter-build Bristol line. I''ve noticed the rigging is less beefy, hull layup a little thinner and odds and ends of trappings less substantial than the 35''s, 39''s and 40''s. There''s a world of boats out there. Nothing wrong with kicking some gelcoat. I think the PHRF on my Bristol Alden 35 is something like 185 or 189 or some such. Dog downwind, when I''m used to clicking 10kn in a frac rig 39, but comfortable. The Columbias are NOT comparable in any respect of the word, as evidenced by the selling prices. Bristols began surpassing Pearson in build quality circa late ''70''s. 2cents.
Thanks for your responces, I figured that this boat had little to no hope of staying with a C&C 35 Mk1 or any other C&C 35 of that time. Other boats also carry more sail and are lighter which would suggest that thay would also be faster! But that is why Perf was created? to make slow boat equal to fast boats over a equal distance. and since our perf racing fleet is all over the place 225 to 90 this boat will fit in nicely, after a two year rebuild. Bosailor.
