Re: Bristol 27

Just came across your posting on your boat Looks like it is progressing slowly but steadily. Though I must admit a lot faster than my rebuild has progressed. I own a Bristol 24 that had been worked on poorly by a PO so it is even a larger project. Removed everything from the interior including the b...
