Broker's Comments
The Nelson 42 Weymouth is a classic semi displacement cruiser from the renowned Halmatic yard. The Nelson semi-displacement hull is a British icon and can handle offshore passages with ease.
This particular Nelson 42 has been the subject of extensive restoration works over the last few years and she is now in super condition, a real credit to her owners.
You may have seen her featured in a recent nine page article in Powerboat and Rib magazine, issue no 165, detailing the restoration. Please contact us for a copy of the article.
Check out the pictures and videos. In particular, the videos of the interior giving a virtual walkthrough from stern to stem! Starting in the aft cabin, through to the saloon, from there into the galley and dining area and ending at the forward cabin. She's an impressive boat!
