The Nimble 30 stands as a testament to the "traditionalmodern" philosophy that defined Nimble Boat Works and its collaboration with the legendary naval architect Ted Brewer. Launched in the late 1980s, this 30foot doubleended yawl was intended for the sailor who desires the aesthetic of a classic wooden pilot boat but demands the structural integrity of fiberglass construction. It is a rare vessel, with only approximately 24 hulls ever produced, making it a "cult classic" among those who value its unique blend of a trailerable 8' 6" beam and serious coastal cruising potential. The design emphasizes seaworthiness and directional stability over raw interior volume, reflecting Brewer’s mastery of the "wholesome" cruiser.
