Over the years, renowned designers associated with the Bristol brand included Carl Alberg, Halsey Herreshoff, Paul Coble and Ted Hood of America’s Cup fame.

Hood’s decimal series of centerboard sailers, 27.7 to 51.1, can still be seen on the water and enjoy a reputation for both speed and a seakindly motion.
