Here's a Bristol 40 owner having his mast stepped in Rockport Harbor, Maine. There were 149 of these Ted Hood designed beauties built between 1970 and 1986.
Still popular and holding their value, this classic plastic with a long keel and prop in aperture is a popular boat on our coast that can be a cats cradle of lobster buoys and warp.
MOON PATH has shapely teak veneer decks. Looks broad from this angle but in fact the B-40 has a 10'6" beam.
MOON PATH was cast off a few second later and tied to our free public docks for a few hours for the owner to install boom and bend on sails. Arriving from winter storage inland (a few miles) on a hydraulic trailer a few hours before, she's now launched, stepped and ready for the season.
Total cost (trailer/mast stepping), would likely be no more than $500 for the DIY owner.
