COMMENTS: HOTSPUR is one of the popular Ted Hood designed 35.5 Bristol K/CB Sloops, built in 1984. Her present owner purchased her in 2002 and he is her third owner. He is a lifelong experienced sailor who has cruised her to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and around Maine. Please note all the improvements he has done including new standing and running rigging, new genoa, new centerboard sheaves and pennant, and some important engine work. She has some of the design options that people desire - bulkhead table and 4" high teak toerails and rubrails. We highly recommend HOTSPUR, and thank you for your interest.
