The one I was on was a Ted Hood design. And had quite a few design flaws.

Bristol has built (and continues to build) a variety of custom boats, many of

Ah yes, but Jeff, you're not a pettifogging ****-ant like MC and JAX.

It's a matter of taste but I don't like center cockpit designs, most of them sail
like a double decker bus. However there are a few, Moody and Bristol come to mind,
that are good sailing boats. IIRC Bristols were designed by either Alden or Ted
Hood.

googling "Bristol 50" returns no results even remotely related to a 50 foot
center cockpit sailboat.

So, everything you know about boats comes from Google? Maybe you can share some of
your expertise with Navvie?
