• Nelson Nelson 40'

    "Bold Ranger"

    Bold Ranger is one of the later built Nelson 40's with a grp superstructure. She has been very well maintained over her lifetime and has been used as a training vessel over the last 12 years. She had her out of the water survey in August 2021 for the renewal of her 5 year COP Category 2 for 8 persons. A stability /heel test was also completed at the same time. Everything to keep her in code will be sold with the vessel, with the exception of the liferaft which is hired.

    She comfortably sleeps 6( one twin aft, one twin forward that can be a double with an insert and a double in the lower saloon which requires the table to be lowered. This is a very useful passage berth when on a long trip. There is an extra single berth in the wheelhouse).

    She comes with brand new Houdini Marine windows for the wheelhouse and forward, ready to be fitted.

    Brand new cover for the windlass, aft box covers, flybridge cover, wheelhouse covers and hatch covers.

    All seacocks were serviced or replaced in May 2021.

  • Owner's Comments

    As Bold Ranger has been used as a training vessel and is coded she has to be kept in tip top condition.
    Every auxillary part of the engines either replaced or overhauled in the past five years, as well as two new gearboxes
    The engine hours are higher than normal as she has been well used. The high engine hours should be of no concern as they have been meticulously maintained. Ther condition is in my opinion much better than most boats of the same age with similar engines.
