Freedom on the Waves
Nelson 46 Sailing Yacht (1983, RPD-Oceanica, GRP)

I would like to highlight that I will be on board on September 13-14, 2026. You are welcome to come and see my boat and ask any questions you may have. Please contact me to arrange a suitable time.

Imagine the wind filling the sails as the sun dances on the water. This Nelson 46 is more than a vessel, it's the promise of freedom, adventure and endless horizons. Fully cruise-ready, refitted and equipped down to the last detail.
Proven reliability: on her last passage she sailed 560 nautical miles in 7 days from Syracuse to Rome Fiumicino — faultless the whole way.
