After years of cruising the North Channel, we are going to do some more far-flung traveling. So... we are selling our little Nimble. Spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested in this unique trailerable motor-sailer cruiser, great for day-sailing, weekending, gunkholing. She is complete with trailer and ready to go to lakes, canals, inshore coastal areas; wherever you set your seafaring sights! 

Location: Hilton Beach Marina, Hilton Beach ON. (After 8/19/2023 she will be moved from Ontario to Michigan).

The Nimble Arctic was designed by Ted Brewer, well-known for watercraft with character and pedigree. With their “salty” good-looks, Nimbles always draw admiring comments, and have acquired an enthusiastic following over the years.

Largo was built in Florida in 1992. She has travelled the East coast, but for most of her years she has been based in the freshwater lakes and canal systems of Ontario and New York.

With her sharpie hull style, 2.5 foot draft, pilot house, tiller or wheel steering, tabernacle mast mount, 9.9 Yamaha high-thrust outboard, easy towing and easy launching, the Nimble Arctic can take you to those quiet coves and secluded bays you always wanted to visit.
