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?

Shucks all this time I thought they did.

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.

You all are just like little girls who broke their dollies, full of spite.
Well, I enjoy ****ing in your cornflakes so lap it up, little girls.

got so old and decrepid he became frightened of tippy boats?

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.

Odd, there were at least as many of those as there were 50' Bristol center
cockpit sloops.

I bet a search for "JAXAshby's sailing skill & knowledge" would come up
blank, too. Or if you prefer mathematical terms, the empty set.

"blank" is not the same as "empty set", except to an emptysetter.
