Is this The ULTIMATE Sailboat Barn Find? Join us on an exhilarating journey as we uncover what might just be the ultimate sailboat barn find!

UPDATED INFORMATION AS OF 05/15/2024: So, new information is emerging about this Bristol. She was custom finished by Chester Crosby at the Crosby Yacht Yard in Osterville, MA, circa 1980. Crosby Yacht Yard has been building boats since 1850 and the yard is still going strong to this day. So, we believe she was built as she is now - lots of teak and custom woodwork. Thank you Ben Ellison for your sleuthing.

THIS VIDEO IS THE BIG REVEAL OF THIS BOAT. SHE HAS NOT BEEN ON THE MARKET UNTIL NOW.

Canadian Ken and I stumbled upon this hidden beauty two weeks ago, and what a discovery it was. Despite its stunning exterior, this sailboat holds mysteries and potential that we're eager to explore.

From its promising Westerbeke diesel to the unfinished projects left by its previous owner, there's no shortage of excitement as we assess its condition.

But fear not, fellow sailors! With a little TLC and DIY expertise, this barn find has the potential to become a true maritime treasure.
