Westerly Nimrod Day Sailer, Trailer Sailer, Sailing Boat.

17’ Trailer Sailer – Day Sailer – Westerly Nimrod A trailable 17’ 9” grp boat, built at a time when boats were over engineered, built by the renowned Westerly manufacturer. The Nimrod is an ideal next step up for a dinghy sailer wanting a boat for a family. A fabulous boat for a young family to have many a holiday on the water for about half the price of a weeks package holiday. Has a retractable iron keel weighing 114kg (250lbs) is lowered/raised by a winch in the cabin. The all up weight of approximately 431 kg (950 lbs) is trailered on a sturdy galvanised steel trailer with new tyres recently fitted, as were new bearings.

The boat is easily trailed by a family car. The cabin has 2 berths on good quality foam cushions. A porta-potti is included with the sale & can be fitted between the berths. A 100 watt leisure battery is fitted, kept charged by a 10watt solar panel. 12v sockets in the cabin to charge up phones etc.

A camping gaz stove & kettle is included. A Hummingbird GPS/fish finder is fitted & powered by the battery. Sails include a 9.4 sq. m. Mainsail with slab reefing, a Barton main sheet traveller system to aid comfortable control of mainsail sheet. There are 2 jibs, a Genoa & a Spinnaker with spinnaker pole.

All sheets, halyards & ‘connectors’ are fine. There is a stainless steel ‘A frame’ & pulley/rope set up, to aid the single hand raising/lowering of the mast. The hull has been anti-fouled over the winter with quality ‘Seajet Shogun’ antifouling paint. With the keel up, the draft is only 8”, so can be taken into coves & beaches with no fear of damage. A substantial plough anchor is included with chain & a chain pipe with 40m of rope secured in forward bilge.

A 'horseshoe' lifebouy is included. A boom tent is included for added sleeping room in the large self-bailing cockpit. A ‘Whale’ bailer is fitted in the cockpit to pump out any water in the bilges. There is probably much more that I could say about this boat, & am quite happy answering any questions. Further views of a Westerly Nimrod can be seen on Youtube by typing in Westerly Nimrod.
