Re: found a bristol 24 cutter, have questions.
Is the Dual head stay system standard? I’m a little late in coming to this, but am not aware of any Bristol (or, Sailstar) 24s with the rig you describe, although I’ve seen one or two (on the Net, see: http://blog.oldragbaggersonline.com/2006/03/26/outboard-chain-plates-on-bristol-24.aspx ) that ha...

I am on a very limited budget as I'm retired and on the old fixed income thing... My plan is to eventually live aboard and sail around Florida and the Bahamas etc... Hey Jerry – good luck with your B24… for whatever reason, the little Coble Bristol’s seem to generally receive far less TLC than many...

Life began when I gutted my boat... Funny you should mention that... My wife (the far better woodworker in the family) is in the process of convincing me that we should gut the main-cabin of our little rascal... sole is squishy, and we've both had some band-aid notions of what to do, but maybe a co...

Photo updates... a productive weekend... but then on reality-size craft, progress occassionally comes in fits and starts... http://www.cruisersforum.com/attachments/gallery/8/8/4/9/b24_may_039.jpg Sure hope this looks better when the tape comes off... Brightside looks okay in the photo, but we're no...

Larry, Do you have blister issues? David Had probably 8-10 blisters and/or major gouges that needed the WEST treatment… and one 6” diameter delamination, plus another area I’m not sure what the deal is yet (if anything), but for now she’s patched, faired and going back in the water as soon as the w...

I think so… I’m painting (Brightside) directly over faired/sanded 407 on the transom and seems to work well… that’s what the yard recommended – and so far I can’t see the patches at all… only time will tell… I tried to order the primer from them, but they’ve done several complete hulls over recent y...

Re: B24
Larry,Do you have the dinette interior or the forward galley design? David We have the dinette model… although I’m thinking through how to modify it slightly so the “table” is usable from the quarter-berth as well (probably some fashion of a throw-over counter or something), and am also toying with...

Re: Bristol 24
You are certain welcome to read what I have done so far... Wow – looks to me you’re doing far more than a simple restoration… truly impressive !! Your hull below the water line looks better than ours probably ever will above – extraordinary. My bride is by far the better wood-worker in the family, ...

Bristol 24…
My wife and I are happily into a six month project (that looks like it’ll probably run two to three years) massaging our Bristol 24 back to life… am just looking for anyone who has knowledge about the care and keeping of this little chunk of a boat designed by Paul Coble. For those not familiar, thi...
