Remarks
Sellers like the Nimble Kodiak so much they have had two! This is the second one, same hull as the first but with innovations resulting from their extensive cruising experience. They worked with the designer in the construction phase to modify this boat for improved performance. The rig has a customized sail plan; the interior also has some custom elements. Neat, clean and ship-shape. Highly recommended.
