1989 Custom Nimble 30-4204-RF

Welcome aboard NIMBLE, a Nimble 30 custom design by Tom Norton and built by Brian Howell. She is a cold molded fractional sloop famous for her coverage in Wooden Boat Magazine. From 1989 until 2012, she was lightly used as a fast daysailer, perfect for an afternoon sail covering a lot of water with overnight accommodations if desired.

Between 2007 and 2012, East Passage Boatwrights repaired and upgraded NIMBLE into a more modern cruiser and racer, restoring her to immaculate condition. She was stored inside for winters for many years after the refit. With NIMBLE, you have a gorgeous mahogany boat that is cold molded and finished in hard epoxy so maintenance is like that of a fiberglass boat.

Her current owners describe NIMBLE as a beautiful boat that is fun to sail and races well. The best of sailing worlds. NIMBLE has been lovingly sailed and well maintained by these owners as evidenced by her annual engine service, two coats of Pettit Trinidad Pro hard bottom paint in 2020, bright work on top, and regular dive service to keep up the bottom.
