and which of those boats is a 50 foot Bristol?

dude, lonny was writing fiction (hoping to soon get paid LOTS of money for his
"better than Nick Carter" novels?).

Well, look beyond google. First boat listing webpage I looked at found
some:

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

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
the large, so they may well have built a 50. However, they are now building a
48, which is close enough for me:

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.

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

doubie, I did St thomas to nyc last year, as well as Ft Lauderdale to
Charleston, as well as nyc to oriental. I would still be out there except I
had to return to deal with a business issue.

Seems to me that in a short time, on our trawler, my wife & I have been a
lot further, seen and done a lot more than you, Bubbles, and Jaxxie, ever
have in all your lives.

I agree. It could have been cleared
without putting anyone in the water.
It was worth a try.

Correct. I have dived under boats in short seas (near reefs) and it is
very very dangerous. Sometimes just going hove to and using a boat hook
can work wonders.
