I'm heading down to Bristol RI to pickup my new-to-me old CD25. She is presently moored at the Bristol Yacht Club. I'm told Bristol Marine is next door and they have all the facilities to lift her out and onto my trailer.
Is anyone on the board familiar with Bristol Marine?

I have kept my CD27 at Bristol Marine for - yikes - over ten years now. Good crew, good service, friendly folks, all the services you could want.
As Skip said, however, it is a very busy time as they store something like 300 boats at the yard. You might want to plan on leaving the trailer there for a few days if they can't give you a precise schedule. The Travellift is a bit tide-dependent for larger boats, and that tends to mess with the schedule especially with rainy/windy days, of which we have had a few.
Jill usually answers the phone. Andy Tyska runs the place. Say Hi for me.
