Bob Yes but the Bristol was a beautiful boat! I was on board that boat at RNSYS as well as on board Mirage 24s in the past. I prefer the Bristol Mike

Richard: I have absolutely no experience with Bristol yachts...but I will share this one story....a few weeks back there was a Bristol 41 (I believe it was a 41) here ....boat now sold and moved out of Halifax. In light to medium to air, a Mirage 24 out sailed the Bristol 41. That's all I have to say! Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

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 Thank you, Richard _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
