This is sailing vessel Tenacious in Nassau Harbour. When the wooden hull construction began in1996, the hull was laid upside down. At completion of the hull, large circular turning clamps were affixed to the hull to right the hull. In February 2000, Tenacious left the shipyard to be fitted with her masts, then on the 1st of September she made her maiden voyage. Tenacious is approximately 178 feet LOA, has a 35 foot beam, a draft of 15 feet and an air draft of 130 feet. Tenacious was built to offer those with physical limitations/disabilities the opportunity to take an equal part in the sailing of a ship.
