It appears that there may be another Bristol Corsair (B24) in my future. After letting Angels Wings go a few years ago (our previous Bristol 24) in a moment of haste, I've become increasingly sorry over the intervening time not to have her. Wings was a solid sailing boat, but esthetically she was no prize, and the ODay looked much cleaner (it is) and of course has probably twice the interior room of our B24.

The ODay 30 is a good boat, in decent condition and a well known design with few unknowns when sailing, but I've decided that I'll finish up the refurbishing of Sanctuary, our ODay 30, get her back in the water and then put her up for sale.

If all goes well, in the next few weeks we'll have a new-to-us Bristol 24, with fairly recent standing rigging and I am hopeful that she'll pick right up where Angels Wings left off.

More to follow -- watch this space.
