Sorry - the boat has sold. The funny thing is that the buyer was "the guy who sold it to the guy I bought it from!" Thanks for inquiring. Rob

I'm sad to say that, due to family circumstances, I have decided to sell my Nimble Vagabond. This boat is the "little sister" to Ted Brewer's Nomad. You can see the listing and photos here: Used 1991 Nimble Vagabond, North Augusta, Sc - 29860 - BoatTrader.com Rob

Scott, Thank you (and everyone else who has responded). I do care about the value of my little boat but, as stated, it is still perfectly usable. Being landlocked, there is only one real marine fiberglass and paint guy in a 20-county area and he charged me $1,400 for some fiberglass work and...

Nimble Vagagond hull #5 - "IONA"

Nimble1, My Vagabond hull is #5 (1991) out of 115.

Eric - I either didn't read thoroughly or we crossed postings. Thanks for your input. On the front windows, it's interesting that the Nimble Vagabond's big sister is the Nomad...

I really like the color scheme on your boat, Eric - much less of the dark green to absorb UV and heat. What type paint would you use? Rob

Last year my wife and I purchased a 1991 Nimble Vagabond. The Vagabond is a small (20ft) Ted Brewer designed "pocket trawler." We keep the boat on a trailer at the house and pull it to one of several large lakes in South Carolina or on the SC/GA border. After almost 40 years of sailing, I'm...

Regarding thinking through names... In the mid-70s, I wanted to name a boat "Star" - but in a language other than English. Being from the Southwest, Spanish was my preference. However, Estrella is too often mispronounced by non-Spanish speakers. My late wife spoke German, so I asked her. The...

An article in a South Carolina paper this morning stated that Claudene Christian, the female crew member who did not survive, was the great (x5) granddaughter of Fletcher Christian – the master’s mate on the ill-fated voyage of the original H.M.S. Bounty. Various other sources seem to confirm...

Link broken cabokurt, The link you copied in is incomplete and doesn't work.

No problems for me using several computers in both South Carolina and Georgia (both at home and on a business network). Working with information systems every day, I suspect those of you experiencing problems could have issues with any number of things on your PCs - browser/version, pop-up...

Tina, That would be a Nimble Nomad (Nimble being the builder and Nomad being the model). Member "Nimble1" owns a Nomad and you can find a number of photos he's posted on this site. I happen to own a Nimble Vagabond - the 20' version of the hull with only an aft cockpit. Rob

Make that four... and thanks to everyone for their great suggestions. My wife and I recently purchased a 1991 Nimble Nomad (a 20' "pocket trawler"). The exterior teak (four hand rails, the pilot house door, the running light boards/baffles on top of the pilot house, and some battens under the...

I'll have to admit that I got a good chuckle out of your response, Carl - my wife is quite the "kitchen master" and would probably like to take all of her toys with her. However, we're talking about a 20' boat, here... There is an Optima reseller just a few blocks from the house and I picked...

Jeff, My wife and I recently purchased a Nimble Vagagond (hull #5). This is the 20' version of the Ted Brewer hull with a foredeck, v-berth, and pilot house. Other features, such has the stern, transom, hull shape, freeboard, cockpit coaming, etc., are pretty much identical to the Nomad. I...

Thanks for responding to my whining Based on Carl's advice and the information from the Optima technical advisor, I think it's a good idea to use the boat for a while before making major modifications. (I would go take a few snaps and post for those not familiar with the boat, but I'm out of...

Although there have been many views, it looks like there's not much interest in helping a newbie with a small boat. Bigger fish to fry, I guess...

More info Sorry... yes - the Vagabond is a 20' flat-bottom trailer-trawler. Planned use is on a moderately sized inland lake (one of two within an hour of the house here in South Carolina). The 2011 Suzuki charges the battery (and is electric start), but there is no kicker or trolling motor...
