Overview
This Bristol 38.8 is a high quality, solidly built boat that has withstood the test of time. Designed by Ted Hood and built by Bristol Yachts in Bristol Rhode Island, SIROCCO V is an outstanding example of a centerboard cruising boat. Hood knew more about designing centerboard cruising boats than anyone and he designed a winner in the 38.8, considering it one of the two most successful designs to ever come out of his shop.
