Catamaran NIMBLE 50

This Dutch-built catamaran stands out for the exceptional quality of its materials and workmanship. It is the only cruising catamaran that can be rigged by four chainplates directly on deck. Equipped with a high nacelle and hulls with fine water inlets, she will appeal to multihull purists thanks to her excellent performance. The saloon-cockpit area, with its well-divided and spacious spaces, is both rational and generous.
