I worked on a couple of Amel boats from France. Very easy to handle for a couple and they even have watertight doors.

If you're going to that size why not consider some of the larger C&C Landfalls? Budget permitting you could also consider some of the later models. My wife and I lived aboard a late 90's 51 for several years. We ultimately sailed her to the Caribbean after adding in-boom furling. She proved to be a very good offshore boat. Not sure I'd want to do weeks on end offshore but certainly 1,500 mile runs are doable. Look carefully at any Bristol you consider - wide swings in quality and in general, most have not aged all that well (IMHO). You may also want to look at an older Hylas, etc. John Sent from my iPad On Aug 20, 2013, at 9:59 AM, Richard Walter <sailind...@yahoo.com<mailto:sailind...@yahoo.com>> wrote: 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?
