The exterior seems like it is in Bristol condition.



So's the interior. http://captneal.homestead.com/updatedinterior.html


Where have you sailed it recently?


I live aboard and sail short trips in the Keys and longer trips to the
Bahamas.

Yes, it's me April 23rd 05 07:22 PM

I don't like your choice of color, but it is Bristol

I'll admit I'm not particularly impressed with Coronado Yachts. I'll
give you credit though, you seem to have this one in ship shape. Nice
looking vessel.

========================

Good advice. I'm sure everything on your Coronado 27 is set up in
proper Bristol fashion. Has it been underway recently?

I wonder what reason the great captain can give for mounting the flagstaff on the port side?
JR



Because I board my vessel from the dinghy on the starboard quarter because
it is uncluttered there. The port side has the BBQ, wires, etc.

CN

Another advantage is that people probably stay away from you thinking that you know as much about handling a boat as you do flag
etiquette.
JR


I know enough not to fly a flag 15 feet up the backstay. There is more
than one thing wrong with that picture.

Also, there is no set fast rule about placing the stern staff on
either port, starboard or middle.

From Chapman's piloting: "A single-masted sailboat underway may
fly the U.S., USPS, or yacht ensign at a stern staff. . ."
The illustration depicts the staff in the center but since
I have an outboard in the center the staff cannot be fitted
there. I hope this helps.

Doesn't help at all. There are two proper places to mount a flagstaff
on the stern and the port side isn't one of then. I must admit I am
surprised at you one this one capt.

Proper is not proper if it is not functional. Besides, what about the

JR.....You may care to read the information posted at this link. Note the
following:

" When flown from the stern, it should be on a staff (pole) that is
sufficiently long and angled, and that is offset to one side (traditionally
the starboard side), so the flag flies clear of engine exhaust and rigging.
"

http://www.sailonline.com/seamanship...etiquette.html

Flying the flag off the stern on the starboard side. Traditional, yes.
Mandatory for proper etiquette, no.

If you get your shorts in a knot over a stranger flying the flag off the
stern on the port side of his boat you need to get a life.
