Description

“ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS”

This 1983 model year Bristol 45.5 is an excellent example of Ted Hood’s master design. With her under 5′ of draft with the board up, all the Bahamas are open to explore. Her 11 feet of draft with the board down powers her up wind like a freight train. As AINIA she completed a circumnavigation under the ownership of Bruce and June Clark. You can read the particulars of their trip and an assessment of the vessel in Bruce’s blog. Simply Google Bruce Clark AINIA and it should appear. The Clarks found her to be fast, seaworthy, and exceptionally well built. Having just completed an 12-month refit with well over $60,000 spent, she is turnkey ready to take you anywhere you desire.
