Broker's Comments

The adjectives one might use to describe Dale Nelsons could go on and on. The most consistently used are:- stylish, safe, sea kindly, fast, beautiful, well made to name but a few. These boats can go pretty much anywhere in any weather at up to 30 knots. To see one of these out on a rough day is a sight to behold. Fantastically sure footed and smooth at all speeds. With the impeccable build quality these are truly aspirational craft. Numerous published test reports also make these comments. This particular one has enjoyed a no expense spare ownership regime. She is presented in first class order throughout and is ready at a moments notice to go to sea.
These boat details are subject to contract.
