Bristol 299 1982

LILLE VENN is an exquisite representation of the renowned Bristol 29.9, originally crafted for racing enthusiasts and cherished for its cruising capabilities and performance. The robust hull is made of solid, hand-laid fiberglass, and the hull and deck are securely bonded with an inward flange, ensuring a durable and tight fit. Its large rudder offers a responsive steering experience, while the skeg positioned ahead of the rudder protects the propeller and enhances directional control. This design results in a vessel that is not only well-mannered in speed and performance but also capable of handling strong winds. During its ten-year production run, Bristol Yachts built 216 units of the 29.9, showcasing its remarkable build quality and design. The Bristol 29.9 continues to be a favored choice for sailors seeking traditional craftsmanship and construction. This thirty-footer boasts exceptional spaciousness thanks to its long waterline, efficient interior layout, generous beam, and over six feet of headroom, making it ideal for day sailing, overnight trips, or extended cruising adventures. LILLE VENN has been meticulously maintained and updated, featuring notable enhancements such as a 20 hp Yanmar engine installed in 2017, topsides repainted in 2012, new electronics added in 2016, and a new rudder installed in 2022. The interior is bright and inviting, with cushions, curtains, and cabin sole in excellent condition. Included in the package is a Fairclough winter cover and frame, along with optional equipment like (7) boat stands and a 500# mushroom-style mooring anchor. This classic Herreshoff-designed vessel has enjoyed the care of a knowledgeable owner, making it striking both at rest and even more so when under sail. If you're in the market for a well-maintained traditional yacht, LILLE VENN deserves a spot on your shortlist.
