Bristol Seacraft

Designed in 1940 by the world renowned Naval
Architect Phil Rhodes, the penguin's popularity
continues to grow, thanks to strict class design
and construction regulations and an enthusiastic
group of sailors. Originally used for solo
frostbite racing through the winter months, it
soon became a popular summer series racer for
two.

Today's Penguins haven't changed significantly
since the first wooden boats were built, but,
unlike their predecessors, the new Bristol
Seacraft boats utilize state of the art fastening
and coating systems to ensure many years of
maintenance free sailing. Each one is meticulously
crafted in Mahogany by hand in our Bristol, RI
millshop. From there, they undergo fairing and
finishing with Awlgrip catalytic varnish and paints.

With state-of-the-art hardware by Ronstan and
mast & boom by Zephyr, you can rest assured
that your new Penguin will not only race at the
head of the fleet but last for many, many years.

Standard (Awlgrip) colors are Flag Blue, Sunfast
Red and Snow White. The standard painted
interior is Whisper Gray. All floor boards and
trim are varnished.
