Overview
SVIP has been the subject of a complete and comprehensive nut and bolt restoration over an 8 year period, and was launched for the first time in 2018. Every single aspect of her has been restored/replaced/renewed during this time, and she is now in virtually concours condition, and certainly substantially to a higher quality than new. The Nimbus 26 Olsen is a classic period cruiser with offshore capabilities, and is sure to turn heads in any harbour in the world. Must be seen to be appreciated. Further documented details of the restoration are available on request. PX may be considered - boats, cars etc
