Description
Marketing Description Introducing NIMOWAY - A custom built, De Boer 45 ketch built in 1998. Fabricated in robust steel, Nimoway combines seaworthy performance with dependable systems, making her an ideal choice for sailors seeking serious offshore capability and reliable passage-making. Powered by a rugged Ford Sabre 100 hp diesel engine removed and rebuilt in 2019, she delivers confident and efficient motoring and motor-sailing. Her heavy-duty displacement hull and well-balanced ketch rig inspire confidence in a range of weather conditions, while her deep keel and full-bodied form provide steady, comfortable motion at sea.

Owner's Comment
Nimoway has been our home-from-home for 18 years and we have sailed the British Isles to Shetland and back and circumnavigated and explored around the whole of the UK and Ireland. There is masses of storage on board making Nimoway a great prospect to take further afield without compromising on safety or comfort.
