Summary

Your Day on the Water just got better!

“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. (Additional photos in process…)
