I've never heard anyone complain about a Bristol 24.

I was seriously considering one before deciding on my Ariel, chose the Ariel primarily because it was local and the price included delivery, even then it was a hard choice to make.

They are good boats, and by all accounts very stiff, from what I've seen they have a lot more room in them than the average 24 footer, looking at the plans, they look to have as much if not more room than my Ariel.

If I'd have had a Bristol 24 when I was younger, I'd have never left California unless it was to go across the pacific.

Ken.
