I have worked on a number of Bristols and they are well made seaworthy boats. As for centerline berths, I like them when you have to get up and pee at 0130, but I also get annoyed every time a wave comes by and you roll out and land on your head. YMMV.
Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Richard Walter Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 10:00 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List moving from a C&C?? Greetings, After almost 10 years aboard INDIGO, our 1978 36-footer, we are considering moving to a different boat. We would like a heavier coastal/bluewater cruiser with more comfort, better tracking, more convenient sail-handling (in-mast or in-boom) and a master stateroom with a centerline berth (which pretty much requires we buy a center cockpit boat). We are looking closely at Bristol yachts; they seem to meet all of our criteria, especially the 43.3 and the 47.7. Does anyone have any experience with Bristols, especially the 43.3 and 47.7? Any other Bristols we should consider? Any other boat brands we should consider? Feel free to contact me off-list so as to not burden Stu'sList with a non-C&C topic. sailind...@yahoo.com<mailto:sailind...@yahoo.com> Thank you, Richard
