1982 Bristol 45'
1982 Bristol 45'
Description
This Bristol 45.5 is an excellent example of Ted Hood’s well renowned, master design. This classic is even better with numerous equipment upgrades (including 2024 Northern Lights Generator, repowered with 2019 Beta Marine Beta 50, many more major updates see complete list of 2019-2024 upgrades below). With her under 5’ of draft with the board up the Bahamas are open to explore. Her 11’ of draft with the board down powers her up wind like a freight train, as when she completed a circumnavigation as AINIA captained by Bruce Clark. Bruce found her to be fast, seaworthy, and exceptionally well built. Whether staying near shore or sailing across the ocean, you and your friends will cruise in beauty and comfort. The Bristol 45.5 is renowned for her incredible woodwork throughout the interior. The large master stateroom aft features a queen berth athwartship with storage beneath, bureau, and multiple hanging lockers. Master head has separate shower stall and vanity. Forward guest cabin with large V-berth with forward head featuring two convenient entry doors. 16,000 BTU air conditioner will cool you down during hot summer days. Galley features many upgrades including (2022) Frigoboat keel cooled refrigeration unit and (2022) Dickinson Mediterranean stove with oven. With her many recent upgrades (see complete list below), was surveyed and appraised in May of 2024 at $145,000 (survey available for review). She is an excellent value at $137,900 and ready to sail
