Many boat manufacturers "claim" offshore capability. Have looked at Alberg 37, Allied Princess 36, and S2 11. Each has nice open layout but obviously there is a difference in bluewater capability.
Question - are Bristol's built to handle these goals? If so, what models within the length constraints would you recommend?
Thanx in advance for any advice you can provide - directed at Bristol's or others.

we own two boats, an Apache 37 by Chriscraft and a Bristol 40, both blue water but one has to go. By the way the Bristol won twice the Maine - Bermuda race: blue water or what? And the older Albergs were very seaworthy.
