Nelson 40 Pilot at De Valk Yacht Brokers

Classic and unique rescue ship with a rich history. Built for the KNZHRM Terschelling. This Nelson 40 has been restored to her full glory by the famous Yard 't Kromhout Amsterdam. This Nelson 40 is particularly suitable so sail comfortable on open water, due to the 2 recent Solé diesel engines, 155 HP each, and the very strong hull. Double glass, strong heating and the possibility for on board showering, makes this vessel not only a stylish appearance but also nice to sail in the winter.

The Nelson 40 Pilot is one of the most iconic pilot boats ever designed and built. Used as an actual pilot boat by the Belgium customs, the Nelson retired and was fully stripped and rebuilt (superstructure, interior, generator, engines, equipment) in 2005. After being purchased by the current caring owner she got all the loving care; repaint the exterior and woodwork in 2015 and reconstructing the hull below the waterline in 2016 with 5 layers of fiberglass/epoxy (3 years guaranty left). This Nelson 40 Pilot is probably the best kept Nelson on the marked and must be seen!
