FULL Sailboat Tour 1978 Bristol Channel Cutter 28 (Solo Woman’s Home) & For Sale

This video showcases my sailboat, the systems in place, and the boat under sail. I purchased the boat in the Dominican Republic, did a massive refit on the boat, and then sailed her in the Bahamas as a shakedown. I made some minor adjustments there, and then sailed the boat 650nm in the Gulf Stream to Oriental, North Carolina, where she is now docked for her new owner!
