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.
