Overview

Nelson 29 - A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a beautiful example of this hardy British boat, built with a total sense of 'fit for purpose'. This capable twin-screw coastal cruising boat, based on the legendary Nelson semi-displacement hull form, will appeal to perhaps a Yachtsman moving to power, but still wanting to cross the channel and cruise the West Country. Originally fitted out by the very reputable Bucklers Hard Boatyard, she's finished to high-standards and to a more indulgent specification than a great many of her workmanlike peers. Between 2018-2020, she underwent a 'top to bottom' refit and comprehensive renewal and upgrade of systems, devices and fittings with a goal of returning "Nellie" to her original 'just launched' condition: Viewing highly recommended.
