Description: For the sailor looking for a classic boat with an exceptional pedigree, look no further. According to the March 2019 survey report prepared for the Nara:
“The Bristol 29.9 is an ideal performance cruiser that is stable and easy to sail. Overbuilt by today's standards, they have stood up well, if maintained. The materials used and the New England workmanship are to a high marine standard and that along with some custom finishing make the Nara possibly the finest example of a Bristol 29.9.”
The Nara is in excellent condition. We have records going back more than 20 years and they indicate a long history of annual care and maintenance, along with many recent upgrades and maintenance repairs including:
