Bristol 299 1982

LILLE VENN is a stunning representation of the legendary Bristol 29.9, known for its racing heritage and cherished for its cruising capabilities and performance. The hull features solid, hand-laid fiberglass, with an inward flange connecting the hull and deck for a robust and secure bond. A generously sized rudder ensures a responsive steering experience, while the skeg positioned in front of the rudder provides propeller protection and excellent directional stability. Its design lends itself to a "well-mannered" sailing experience, capable of handling strong winds with ease. During its decade-long production, Bristol Yachts crafted 216 of these remarkable vessels, highlighting the quality of its construction and design. The Bristol 29.9 continues to be a favored option for sailors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship. This thirty-footer boasts impressive interior space thanks to its extended waterline, smart interior layout, ample 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 upgraded, with significant improvements including a 20 hp Yanmar engine installed in 2017, topsides re-painted in 2012, new electronics added in 2016, and a new rudder fitted in 2022. The interior is bright and inviting, with well-kept cushions, curtains, and cabin flooring. Additionally, a Fairclough winter cover and frame are included, along with optional equipment such as seven boat stands and a 500-pound mushroom-style mooring anchor. This classic Herreshoff-designed yacht has thrived under the care of a knowledgeable owner. It is visually striking both at anchor and while sailing, making LILLE VENN a must-see for anyone in the market for a traditionally built yacht in excellent condition. She is available for viewing by appointment in the water in Greenwich, CT.
