Bristol 29s
- #1 I received an email from Bill
Parks in New Zealand: "My dad owned hull #1 for many years. He bought
it in 1976 in Greenwich CT, and kept it in Westport MA, where we sailed it
frequently around the Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard as well as
Narragansett Bay. He sold it to my brother sometime in the early nineties,
I forget exactly when. My brother had it for a few years and now I am not
sure where it is.
It was a great boat, and I only remember seeing about five others the
whole time we owned it, one, unfortunately was sitting on top of the rocks
in Newport Harbor after Hurricane Gloria."

"Errant"
owned by John Stimpson: "I inherited the "Errant" from my father within
the last few years. I'm pretty sure it's hull #77. He would have loved
your website as he was a big bristol 29 fan. He was always writing
Halsey Hereshoff with questions and suggestions, and I remember taking a
family roadtrip to tour the boatyard and meet with Hereshoff. The family
has owned her since the late 60's (second owners) and sailed her
extensively year round. The only modifications we made were to cut out
the old alcohol stove and top drawer and install a small woodburning
stove, primarily for heat, and a one burner non-pressurized alcohol
stove, as well as some minor rigging modifications made by Jack Wood, a
well known previous generation sailor who was a family friend. Currently
she's languishing a bit, and unfor tunately we have a moderately severe
case of gelcoat blisters that I'll have to take care of this winter.
Thanks for maintaining a site. I may contact you later if I find that I
have questions.

- #169 The
last B29 made. Recently bought by Jeff Hazen, he writes:
I have enjoyed looking at
your website this summer – thinking about boats…. I cruised on a B30 as
a kid with my family, and Bristol was on the short list of good old
boats when I started looking around for a boat myself.
I’ve just recently
purchased a B29, hull # 169. The last one, if all the online data is
accurate. I live in southern Maine, and this will be my winter
project. It needs a modest hull repair, complete electrical rewire, and
a holding tank. The boat appears to be completely stock – it came with
the orange cushions, Atomic 4, and the roller reefing handle for the
boom – long since obsolete with the installed jiffy reefing.
I don't know that I have
the ambition to document as you have done - but I'd be happy to send
along pictures of anything interesting as I get along. In the meantime,
here's a shot of "as is, where is".
