1988 Bristol 45.5 C/B

The deck was painted in 2019 and looks perfect! Also in 2019 an Owner's survey was done including a complete standing rigging and chain plate inspection, the report reflected nothing but positive statements with no recommendations. The standing rigging is rod, 1/4 inch for the lower shrouds and back stay and 3/8 inch for the upper shrouds. There are dorades and 5 opening hatches plus numerous portlights offering great natural ventilation. There is a 2015 Seasafe Prolight 6 Person Life Raft which was last inspected in October 2019 with a current inspection date due this past October 2022. There are numerous fenders with cloth sleeves, more than adequate dock lines along with an Ideal electric Windlass with chain connected to a Rocna 25 KG anchor. An anchor washdown fixture is to port of the Chain Locker. A drogue chute is in the chain locker and has never been used. There is a mast mounted whisker pole and Forespar rigid vang, all running rigging appears in above average condition.  The winches are oversized Lewmar, two 65's and two 45's along with a mast mounted winch for the Halyards. There is a stainless steel dinghy davit and engine mount holding a Honda 4 stroke 5 HP outboard motor. There is no dinghy. There are deck lights at the transom, the Navigation Running lights are LED. The centerboard cable and bushing were inspected in 2019 and found to be in good condition.

Tempus Fugit can accommodate 8 overnight guests with the two single settees in the main salon both of which slide out and convert to double berths, the Vee berth in the forward cabin easily sleeps two and has a dedicated electric head with vanity and sink and a shower.The master cabin aft has a custom king berth to starboard and a custom counter area and storage to port. The aft Head is also electric with vanity and sink plus a separate shower stall.  Both Heads are valved for either fresh or salt water flushing. The forward Head is plumbed to a LectraScan system prior to depositing into a newer 20 gallon waste holding tank. The aft waste holding tank is reported to be 40 gallons in capacity.  Both Heads are plumbed with Y Valves for overboard discharge when offshore. It is reported that all the upholstery was replaced in 2013.

There are two Marine Air air conditioners, one 7,000 BTU aft and one 16,000 BTU forward. The aft unit can run away from dockside power through the 2500W Magnum inverter and the Balmar 250A DC Generator coupled to a Yanmar 15HP diesel engine showing 800 hours of run time per the hour meter.There are numerous fans in all the cabins pushing cool, quiet air.

The Galley is well equipped with Grunert holding plate refrigeration, a 12V water cooled system. There is a Force 10 3 burner LPG cooktop with oven that looks like it has never been used, see the photos. You have a KitchenAid convection toaster oven and plenty of storage for cutlery, dishes and other Galley items.  Additionally there is a Frigidaire portable Ice Maker.

Tempus Fugit has been updated with three Battle Born 100 amp hour lithium batteries supported by the Magnum 2500W Inverter/Charger. There are two large lead acid batteries for the engine, thruster and windlass. These two batteries are supported by a West Marine Battery Charger. Port side of the cockpit is a single 50A shore power connector plus two 30A shore power connectors and a cable television jack. Tempus Fugit is supplied with two 30A cords and a single 50A cord.

There is a newer Raritan 6 gallon hot water tank forward of the Nav Station. 

A super quiet Eclectic Energy D-400 direct drive 12V 5 blade Wind Generator is mounted at the stern.

Across from the Nav Station is the well laid out AC/DC electrical panel, separately you have the control panels for the Magnum Inverter/Charger, the Balmar DC Generator and the Heart Interface Link 2000-R panel.  There 110V electrical outlets throughout the interior of the boat.

Redundancy best describes the electronics on this well equipped Bristol 45.5 which were installed in early 2019.The generously sized and out of the way Nav Station has a nice size table and a bank of electronics.  There is an ICOM M602 VHF, ICOM M802 SSB, Pactor Modem, Raymarine HybridTouch Multi-Function Display (MFD) with AIS B and a Davis Weather Machine.

In the Cockpit at the Helm you have another suite of Raymarine instruments, a large screen MFD with Radar, Raymarine AutoPilot and Vetus Bow Thruster controls. Also handy to the helm is a second ICOM VHF. To port in the cockpit coaming is a second Simrad AP20 AutoPIlot control. At the Nav Station there is a switch to go from either the Simrad unit or the Raymarine unit.

At the forward end of the cockpit is another bank of Raymarine instruments for Wind/Depth/Speed

The list of engine spare parts is too numerous to list but look at the photos and you will see under the aft berth it is full of spares including a brand new heat exchanger and many other parts. The propeller is a Max Prop bronze 3 blade auto feathering propeller.

The Balmar/Yanmar DC Generator with a reported 800 hours of run time has all new hoses and belts and a deep list of spares.

Tempus Fugit is one of the best equipped yachts I have seen in a very long time. The list of spares for engine, generator, mechanical and electrical systems goes on and on. The watermaker was removed from the boat but is in storage along with a host of other spares in addition to the spares on the boat. The Bimini and full cockpit enclosure is stored off site, see the photos in the listing.
