anyone here own a Bristol sailboat?

We looked at two before buying our last boat. The specifics are
unimportant, but what IS important is that the prices of all Bristols, even
the beat-up, worn-out old ones, has risen dramatically in the past decade.
Unless you find one in pristine shape with good mechanicals and current
electronics, canvas, etc. it may be seriously overpriced compared with, oh,
say, a Beneteau 35s5. g
