Remarks : Patience III is a 1985 Nimbus 2600; one of the internationally renowned Nimbus range that is known for its sometimes conservative, sometimes radical but always capable collection of sports boats and offshore cruisers. The 2600 is an excellent example of the yard's progressive but always practical thinking, and still makes an ideal starter boat. She has only had 2 owners from new, she has always been professionally maintained, and her extensive provenance is evidence that she has been lovingly cared for. Patience III has spent much of her life on the French inland waterways. Since then she has returned to Chichester Marina where she now lies afloat. Her layout provides for 5 comfortable berths, making her an ideal boat for a family. Her current owners have spent a lot of money enhancing her over the last few years, having replaced the Electric Windlass, Depth and Log, Autopilot, Garmin plotter and oven. She had a new Volvo TAMD31D diesel engine fitted in 1994, which has been regularly serviced. Accommodation : 5 berths in 2 cabins, 1 double and 3 singles.
