Shipmates: I have owned many sail boats of various seizes, and am now looking at the last (ya right) one for my wife and I to spend considerable time on. I am looking at a 1978 Bristol 35.5 in Oriental NC. I just sold a Pearson 33 in Eastport and miss her a bit. Can someone give me some clues on common cause issues as I start to really go over the boat? Any thoughts on the boat itself? I would really like your input. THANKS! Dennis
