Remarks :
Nerissa is a traditional day sailer designed by Michael Webb and custom-built by Wootton Bridge Traditional Boat Builders in 2005. She offers the charm of a classic wooden vessel, similar in style to a Cornish Shrimper, but with the elegance of a lapstrake hull and teak decks. The current owner has maintained her well over the years, with key upgrades including new standing rigging in 2021, a Beta Marine engine, and new teak decks in 2017. While the exterior woodwork and paint would benefit from some attention, she remains a rare and appealing opportunity for an enthusiast looking to preserve and enjoy a classic craft.
