About
Professionally re-fitted Nelson 45 offering capability, comfort, and cruising independence£82,500Bring all Offers
'Stoic' is built on the renowned Nelson 45 hull and has benefitted from two significant refits, combining proven offshore capability with modern upgrades for practical and comfortable use.
Originally constructed for Royal Navy officer training, she comes from a lineage designed for reliability, safety, and ease of handling in real-world conditions. Following extensive professional refurbishment, she presents as a well-prepared and highly usable vessel suited to extended cruising or liveaboard use.
Unlike many boats of this type, Stoic has been upgraded with a clear focus on usability and self-sufficiency. She is capable of operating independently for several days without reliance on shore power making her suitable for coastal exploration, longer passages, or a more flexible way of using the boat.
Design & Background
The Nelson 45 hull, designed by Peter Thorneycroft and built by Watercraft, is widely respected for its strength, stability, and sea-keeping ability. Variants of this design have seen long service in both commercial and government roles.
