Basic Info

Yacht Name: Whisper1
Builder: Bristol
Model: 45.5
Year: 1990
Location: Jolly Harbor, Antigua & Barbuda
Designer: Ted Hood
Hull Material: Fiberglass
 

Whisper1 is very well maintained and equipped Bristol 45.5 from the design board of Ted Hood. As with all Bristols, the 45.5 is known for its comfortable layout and sea kindliness. A strong hull combined with an easily handled sail plan makes the 45.5 fun and easy to sail even with a small crew. Another desirable feature is her centerboard system which allows shallow water anchoring with the board up or good windward ability with the board down.

Whisper1 has been up and down the East Coast, the Bahamas, and down in the Caribbean. She is presently located in Jolly Harbor, Antigua.

She has numerous upgrades during this present ownership including:

  • New Betamarine 60 hp diesel engine with new ZF25M gearbox
  • Replace the whole sanitation system, including heads and plumbing
  • Total servicing of air conditioning system
  • Bottom stripped, epoxied, and new paint
  • New North mainsail, serviced the main furler
  • Refrigeration upgrades 
  • Diesel tanks removed, tested, cleaned, painted, and re-installed
  • New prop
  • Whisper1 is presently on the hard at Jolly Harbor, Antigua for the hurricane season and is ready to go for a buyer who wants to start cruising in the heart of the West Indies!

Accommodations

Ted Hood and Bristol Yachts designed and built fine cruising yachts that combined excellent sailing qualities with comfort, safety and good storage. 

She has two large double sleeping cabins, two heads with showers, a comfortable salon that can sleep three, and a large efficient galley. 

The guest stateroom is forward with a large V-berth. The head and shower are next, aft to port with entry from the stateroom or from the companionway to the salon. The forward stateroom has ample storage in lockers, drawers & cubbies. 

Opposite the forward head is a storage unit with drawers that is currently used for tools, parts and accessories. 

The salon has a good-sized, centerline dining table with drop leaves and center wine storage. The L-shaped settee to port pulls out into  double bed. The settee to starboard converts into a comfortable single berth. Aft of the starboard settee is the galley. Aft of the port settee is the freezer, and aft of the freezer is the forward facing navigation station. 

Master cabin is aft with a private head & separate shower stall. The two large berths are starboard and port. Storage cabinets surround the berths and the cabin includes drawers and a large hanging locker.

All cushions in the salon and cabins are covered in blue ultrasuede fabric.
