"Outstanding! Within Bristol 45.5's long easy lines (with fine entry for good upwind performance) is packed a wealth of carefully planned and executed features. These features reflect the vast experience and attention to detail of both Ted Hood's design staff and Bristol Yachts' craftsmen..." ~ Bristol 45.5 brochure

Pelagic, while needing some work currently, has a number of nice upgrades and features including a new standing and running rigging in 2013 (including a new Selden mast with fully battened mainsail dropping into lazy jacks), new Beta engine in 2018 and no teak decks. Priced to sell this is an opportunity to get one of these iconic long-distance cruisers at a fantastic price.
