Westerly Nimrod is a
racer or a day sailer
or a weekend cruiser
all in one!
When we knew we wanted
to build a boat like Nimrod,
we asked lan Proctor
whether he could design
something that would fairly
and squarely live up to the
description 'three-in-one
boat'. After a while, he said
yes. 'Yes' was Nimrod.
And if you're a club racer
you'll find her performance
zestful. If you're a daysailer
you'll have all the relaxation
you look for. And if you want
to spend the weekend af loat
with your family, you may
even be amazed at how
every inch has been made
to work for your comfort.

'Nimrod outsails larger craft
which by rights ought to
leave it f ar behind'
This is what Crab Searle, Chairman of the Federation of
Sailing and Power Boat Schools, said about Nimrod's lively
performance. He also said 'The boat is splendidly balanced,
and points high on the wind'. Foam buoyancy 's built-in,
and 'the uncluttered cockpit and the light, simple gear
makes it an ideal boat for teaching'. So, experienced sailing
man or enthusiastic newcomer, if it's the real wind-andwave feeling you're after - Westerly Nimrod can provide
it! (She is after all from the same stable as Cirrus,
winner of the 1 968 Yachting World rally.)
Easy-to-get-there boat
*
Perhaps living a bitfarfrom the water stops you domg as much sailing asyou'd like?
Then Nimrod is particularly good news because out of the water as well as in she
handles beautifully. For example, with her retractable bulb keel she's easy to load
onto a trailer, dry out on a moonng or park on a beach.She's easy to tow,
and easy to launch. And of course, this ease of handling means you can take the
boat to and from the water each time and save on mooring fees.
Two more advantages we'll mention : you can camp on Nimrod while she's on her
trailer. Very useful if you feel like making a longer trip to sail in new waters. And if
you want to take an outboard motor, proper provision has been made for stowage
in the cockpit locker.
It's super inside!
Nimrod has two full length berths in the cabin. And if you want to go
off for the week-end with your family aboard, a boom tent is available
for the large self-baling cockpit, to make more sleeping room. As far as
fittings and finish are concerned, Westerly have established a worldwide reputation for high quality. You'll find the Nimrod lives up to
this in every detail.

The remarkable price of Nimrod
Have a look at the price list. You'll see
that the down payment on Nimrod is
only the same as the price you can
easily pay to take your family away on
holiday. So you could buy a Nimrod
instead, have a wonderful holiday on
it as soon as you like - and for weekend after weekend, year after year,
afterwards.
