Brokers comments
An impressive family cruiser. Please do not compare “Nimrod III” to early or mid 1970’s boats, the interior is significantly different with a high quality wooden interior rather than GRP / PVC interior. Deck gear and other equipment is to a high standard.
In her current ownership for 3 years, she is only for sale as her owner is retiring from boating. The previous owner had the boat for 23 years and was meticulous about maintenance - he stored her inside each winter and as a result, the exterior and gel-coat are in excellent condition.
I would have no hesitation in recommending a viewing, this boat is 100% ready to sail.
