Catamaran NIMBLE 50

This Dutch-built catamaran stands out for the exceptional quality of its materials and their implementation. It is the only cruising catamaran that can be hoisted by four padeyes directly on the deck. (!) Equipped with a high nacelle and fine water entry hulls, it will appeal to multihull purists thanks to its excellent performance. The square-cockpit area, with its well-divided and spacious spaces, is both rational and generous.
