Broker Remarks

Nimrod is a classic Nicholson 30 designed by Raymond Wall and built by Camper and Nicholson in 1973. A well-regarded quarter ton cruiser/racer, she offers strong performance under sail while maintaining comfort for extended cruising. Her Beta Marine engine was installed in 2011 and has been regularly maintained. The upholstery was replaced in 2023, adding a fresh feel to the interior. With various updates over the years, including rigging and a Flexofold folding propeller, Nimrod is ready for her next owner to enjoy.
