Reading John Vigors "Twenty Small Sailboats To Take You Anywhere" I was drawn to the Bristol 27. One of the characteristics I like in my 1983 Hunter 34 is the quarterbirth which I don't think the 27 has but the 27.7 does have. I've been thinking about downsizing to make singlehandling a bit easier and was looking for comments on the two Bristol models. Thanks, Joe
