Nelson 45 For Sale | 1983
45` Nelson built by Picchiotti in Viareggio in a well maintained condition by the current owners who have owned her passionately for the last 10 years
Tigress alba is a 45’ Nelson built in 1983 by Picchiotti in Viareggio - model type Tigress Mk II. She is certified built to Lloyds +100A1, RCD Class A.
