Cruising and living on a Bristol 24?
The Bristol 24 is unusual for her size - standing headroom, heavy (6000 lbs), lots of ballast. So definitely more up to what you propose than the typical trailer-sailor in this size range. That said, no way I would want to do it in a boat this small. As was mentioned above, storage is one big problem.

Bristol 24' Corsair
New Bristol 24 owner I purchased a 1967 Bristol Corsair 24 a year ago. She is a rock-solid pocket cruiser that loves heavy air. The 2,500lb. skeg keel provides outstanding control while pinching.

Bristol Corsair 24 vs Marieholm International Folkboat (IF 26)at
Bristol 24 I sail one one at my boat yard from time to time. For a twenty four it has room. It has much more room than my Cape Dory 22. The 24 is a very good heavy weather sloop. I would not want to spend continuous long periods on it though. In this range I would look at a Cape Dory 25D-Not the straight 25. Roomy and stout.
