1978 Bristol

Designed by Halsey Herreshoff, and built by Bristol Yachts Shipyard, RANGER II is a one-owner, well-loved, meticulously maintained, timeless classic that proves that age does not define condition.  She is powered by the original YANMAR 2QM15 with 2300 hrs, and has a fully battened mainsail, furling genoa, and a spinnaker, and she is equipped with VHF, GPS, radar, plotter depth sounder, and wind/speed meter. RANGER II comfortably sleeps 6 and has a forward cabin with a V-berth. The Galley has a 2-burner stove and an icebox, and there is AC and a manual head.  The cabinetry is immaculate and there is plenty of storage throughout.
