The owner's word:

A unique boat with solid and lightweight construction, ideal for life on board or a grand 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 recognized manufacturing quality (NOTABLY COMPOSITE FORWARD BEAM). This example has proven itself without any issues. A major refit by the current owner took place in 2022 (re-engining, rigging change, sails) in view of a Mediterranean program - tour of Spain carried out over the 22-23-24 seasons. The boat has sailed to the satisfaction of an experienced crew, it is currently in southern Brittany.
