Best equipped and nicest center cockpit 41.1 this brokerage has seen in decades. Absolute pleasure to represent.

COMMENTS

NEW HORIZONS is an iconic Ted Hood design, and one of the later hulls built at Bristol Marine in Bristol, Rhode Island. The Bristol 41.1 is a phenomenal coastal cruising sailboat with true shoal draft thanks to her keel / centerboard arrangement. With the board up the draft is only 4’-6” and with the board down the draft stretches to 10’-6”, allowing for great upwind sailing performance. Capable of offshore work as well, many Bristols have sailed up and down the U.S. East Coast from New England to the Bahamas and Caribbean - with more than a handful up in the Great Lakes also. The 41.1 is a perfect size boat for two couples to cruise with two great cabins and two heads and showers and plenty of privacy thanks to her center cockpit. Additional berthing in the main salon for kids and overflow guests and offshore sailing. A very handsome boat with just the right proportions, she sails remarkably well in light air yet is stiff enough to handle places like Buzzards Bay where the chop is steep and there is wind aplenty. NEW HORIZONS has many custom touches including hull ports in the main salon, recent stainless davits for carrying a tender and in-boom furling for ease of handling without any loss in performance.

Easily managed by a couple, NEW HORIZONS truly excels for shorthanded sailing with modern in-boom furling coupled with an electric halyard winch, electric windlass, roller furling genoa, davits etc.

NEW HORIZONS is a very special example of her class! Indoor heated storage for the past twelve years with excellent care from The Concordia Company in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

ACCOMMODATIONS

She has 6’-4” of headroom and can comfortably sleep seven adults in two cabins and the main salon.

MAIN SALON

The main salon has an L-shaped settee to port and a facing settee to starboard. Each settee pulls out to form a wider bunk. A beautifully varnished drop-leaf table is located between the settees that will easily seat six people. Starboard forward salon locker with shelves and light. Behind both settees are storage cabinets that have all been painted, and customized with additional teak shelving with fiddles for more organized storage including a teak CD rack. The upper cabinets have been lined with teak. Behind the starboard settee is a custom wine locker that securely holds wine bottles and glasses as well as two glass decanters. This is all built of teak, with custom beveled-glass front door panels, and is internally illuminated.

All teak is in excellent condition with a beautiful hand rubbed finish; horizontal trim is high gloss, offering a “classic” look to the interior. There are very tasteful neutral curtains (lined) on all ports and port lights.

Lewmar hull-mounted fixed portlights with custom teak trim rings add to the available light below and make for beautiful views of the water at anchor as well as underway, a feature rarely seen on this model boat. There is a 13” TV/DVD system with remote for viewing in the main salon (not in service).
