Bristol 32
Now our skipper is getting me interested.
Here's the latest sailboat he's interested in... a 1966 Bristol 32.
I'd appreciate any comments from those familiar with this model.
http://tinyurl.com/7rlj4thanks again for all who have offered comments on the Hughes 36 and the
Cal 34 |

| I have one that I have been cruising Mexico with for a year. I have no
problems with it. I would get something a little bigger if I could go
back in time. Maybe 36' to 38' but then everybody always says that. On
the plus side, it's easy to handle for us 2 women. We can anchor in 7'
of water and not be scared all night. It's lot cheaper to take care of
32' of boat. Jeannette

| Another point. That boat is a little overpriced I think. I got mine (a
1978 model) for 27k 3 years ago. Of course that would depends on
equipment. Well I see that these might be $CAN. Mine were $US. At the
time they were worth more. Also, there is a Bristol 32 web site: http://www.bristolowners.org/ and a couple of Bristol mail list: BristolYachts on yahoogroups.com http://list.sailjazz.com/read/?forum=bristol Jeannette

| Sure is. The 'skipper' would welcome me as a half interest owner in a
flash, but I'm not fussy about sharing.
If he doesn't buy....wonder if I can beat the owner down to $ 25k.....
I could sell my boat for $5K & borrow the remainder from mom! ;-) |

| Rock solid old boat. Ted Hood design if I'm not mistaken. Great full
keel cruiser but very small interior. Narrow beam, lot's of overhang,
a mans boat. Built before women were brought along and started
insisting on silly things like comfort or storage. Certainly the
smallest of the three boats you've mentioned, and the best built. The
Bristol will definitely have the classic appeal over the other two. I
didn't see your post about the Hughes 36 but if that was the old
Columbia 10.7 that's a damned nice boat also, and a lot roomier. The
Cal 34 would make the best "round the buoy" boat, but it's not in the
class of the other two as far as construction goes. bb |
