Known History:

NIMBLE is one of three of this class designed and built by Morgan Giles in 1948.
NIMBLE is basically a scaled down version of the West Channel class, referred to by the Morgan Giles yard as 'Quay Punts'.


This West of England 2.5 ton sloop was lovingly restored in 2003 and has been maintained to the highest standard ever since.


Immaculate after a repaint of topsides and antifouling, she is ready for the 2010 season.

This beautiful sloop comes with a complete history, from her build records to her refit, as featured in Classic Boat magazine in June 2004
