Little need to be said of the Nelson Class build quality. This model was built by the Bembridge Boat Company, the birthplace of the Nelson. Lovingly maintained by the current owners. The aft cabin has been totally modified to give extra headroom and the added benefit of this is a large, raised aft deck.

Broker's Comments

The older style Nelsons are arguably the prettiest and this one proves it. Well appointed with good sized engines giving very capable performance in one of the most seaworthy hulls built.
