ACCOMMODATIONS The interior of MISTRAL is traditional, yet light and open with mahogany raised and white beaded paneling combined with new beautiful light gold upholstery and gold plated hardware. Starting aft of the chain locker is a crew cabin with two teak berths and two large spacious staterooms for the owner's party.
A collision bulkhead with watertight door separates this area from the rest of the vessel. Deck access is through the foredeck hatch. The crew quarters has just been refinished with the same trim as the rest of the yacht, making it a very comfortable and elegant area.
The spacious owner's cabin is next aft with an athwartship full queen berth, large dresser, nightstand and full desk. An ensuite private head with shower is adjacent.
The salon features a U-shaped dining table to port with settee opposite to starboard. This settee converts to a full double berth. A navigation center is just aft to starboard with full size nav desk and storage. A large head with classic wooden framed tub is opposite.
The galley is located on the forward end of the salon, but separate, and is well equipped with a generous pantry, a Gaggenau electric cooktop, oven, microwave, Glacier Bay cold plate refrigeration/freezer and granite countertops.
A guest stateroom is located aft of the salon and head, to port with a full double berth, chest of drawers and hanging locker.

RECENT UPGRADES In 2002, prior to her Trans-Atlantic crossing, Carbon Fiber top masts by GMT were added. This addition not only enhanced her appearance, but added sailing area for light conditions. A larger Genoa, Topsail and Fisherman were added to complement the sail inventory, and a new pair of Lewmar winches were added. The masts were repainted in cream Awlgrip, instead of the original dark red.
In January and February 2006, two new sails were added, teak decks sanded and re-seamed as needed, all new cushions were installed. The hull was painted in a traditional Herreshoff Cream at this time.
COMMENTS This brief description barely touches on the extensive equipment to be found on this yacht, and words alone cannot describe the beauty, the quality, or the attention to detail to be found aboard MISTRAL. Truly maintained in "Bristol" fashion, without regard to expense, this is not a yacht for everyone. If you desire to have a yacht that can win classic regattas, turn heads in every harbor you enter, but desire a modern yacht at the same time, MISTRAL deserves your close personal inspection.
