Has anyone circumnavigated one of the smaller Bristols? By smaller, I mean 35' and shorter. Is the B29 or B32 capable?

Interesting

Thanks Ross,

I've read about a couple of Bristol 27s making Pacific crossing and such. I was wondering if the hull joints and chainplates as they come from the factory are up to long term blue water crossings. I'm sure modifications can be made that would "bullet proof" an already tough boat. I've had my 24 offshore for a fairly long crossing, and felt safer than I did in a 32 footer of lighter construction.
