Overview

About this vessel

We are delighted to present this Nelson 42 Pilot to the market, she was built by Automarine on the Isle of Wight seeing active service as a pilot boat before conversion to a cruiser. Consequently, she is built to the highest standards and has a distinct feeling of solidity. In 1996 this Nelson 42 Pilot went under a conversion and substantial process, which has continued throughout the current ownership. The end result you see today is a beautifully presented cruiser with all the creature comforts you might expect, achieved within a classic Nelson design combining the model's trademark solidity, ease of handling, sea keeping, practical deck layout, and traditional good looks.

Berth at Weymouth Marina is available for the new owner to continue.
