This Nelson 40 is a very authentic vessel with a proven, fast, manoevrable and sea kindly hull. A Halmatic Nelson 40 ft Pilot Launch constructed under Lloyds Survey. Halmatic was approved to Ministry of Defence Quality Assurance Standards 05/21 when she was constructed. She has an immensely strong structure allowing for arduous service.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This Halmatic Nelson 40ft Pilot Launch was a real pleasure to list. She has retained her originality, but also appears to have been maintained by her owners who have enjoyed her since 2000. There is a large file with this vessel showing maintenance and information on the vessel. She is built to a fantastic specification and is most robust and should be capable of many years service to come. The engines started on the button and the owner took me for a trip out on her - she handled beautifully and did not miss a beat. She is now out of the water having some annual maintenance so this is an ideal chance to see this superb vessel.
