Nimphius 48' Custom

A classic Ed Monk, Sr. design, Bacchanal is as comfortable in a seaway as she is at anchor. Built in 1970 by Ferdinand Nimphius, a premier builder of the day, she is an exceptionally stout vessel. Double planked with mahogany over cedar and substantial oak framing, you are unlikely to find a build of comparable quality. Bacchanal is in excellent structural condition throughout and built to outlast not only her contemporaries, but also todays boats. In short, this is not your typical wooden project boat. A prime example of both Monk and Nimphius work, she has always benefitted from exceptional care. Recently surveyed, a copy is available for interested parties.

At 48 and with double staterooms, master and day heads and a roomy saloon, she is well suited for either extended voyages or as a live-aboard. Well maintained twin Detroit 8-53s have low hours and provide both economical and reliable service. All major systems (electrical, plumbing, ect.) have been meticulously upgraded. Interior cosmetic enhancements have also been substantial.

She is currently hauled out in Mystic, CT and is easy to show. She is substantially ready for launch and sea-trail.
