Owner's note:
A unique boat with a solid and light construction, ideal for life on board or a big departure!

Alexander Verheus is a renowned Dutch architect, the NIMBLE series included several models between 40 and 50'. The M-M shipyard had a very good reputation, but could not compete with the French and South African giants despite a recognized quality of manufacture (COMPOSITE FRONT BEAM IN PARTICULAR). This example has proven itself without any problems. A major refit by the current owner took place in 2022 (re-engine, change of rigging, sails) in preparation for a Mediterranean-tour of Spain program carried out in the 22-23-24 seasons. The boat sailed to the satisfaction of an experienced crew, it is currently in South Brittany
