English
The Nimbus 320 Coupe makes an excellent and versatile cruiser, easily handled, they offer good economy across a wide range of cruising speeds, and are well suited to both coastal cruising and exploring rivers and estuaries. Their spacious interior is full of practical features, and 'Jenny Wren' is fitted with the rarely seen V berth forecabin, giving the option of either two single berths or a large double, as well as doubling as a lower saloon area for relaxing below decks if required. She is a preferred single Yanmar engine version, providing excellent reliability, and has an impressive inventory including a recent Raymarine chart plotter and radar, bow thruster, heating, upgraded cockpit canopy, copper coating, and more! Presented in very good condition and ready to enjoy, early viewing is highly recommended as she is guaranteed to be popular. There is a 2023 survey available to interested parties.
Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office - 01621 785600.
