Nimbus Launches W11 Legacy Edition at Cannes Yachting Festival
Nimbus has unveiled the Weekender 11 Legacy Edition, an upgraded version of its W11 model, which was first presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival. This latest edition comes a year after the initial W11 was introduced, providing a new perspective on the Swedish manufacturer's Day Cruiser line. The W11 Legacy Edition is built on the same platform as the open Tender 11 (T11) and the enclosed Commuter 11 (C11), offering a flexible choice for yachting aficionados.
Design and Quality
The W11 Legacy Edition spans 12.4 meters (40 feet 7 inches) long and showcases a unique design package. This edition features light beige quilted upholstery and high-quality leather details, demonstrating Nimbus’s dedication to enduring craftsmanship and Scandinavian design aesthetics. Established in 1968, Nimbus is a highly regarded Nordic yacht manufacturer, and the Legacy Edition highlights the brand’s vibrant history.
Capabilities and Features
The W11 represents an advancement from the W9, featuring a beam of 3.46 meters (11 feet 4 inches). Propulsion is powered by twin 400hp Mercury V10 outboard engines, with an optional gyro stabilizer to further enhance stability. The yacht boasts versatility with a hydraulic swim platform, a folding side balcony on the starboard side, and a generous aft deck with adaptable seating. Ample sunbeds, outdoor kitchen options, and significant storage for water sports equipment make it perfect for weekend adventures.
The cockpit is crafted for both protection and visibility, ensuring a pleasant experience for both the captain and guests. Below deck, the W11 accommodates four guests comfortably, featuring a roomy bathroom with a toilet and shower. This makes the W11 a wonderful day cruiser as well as a practical option for longer excursions on the water.
Perfect for Asian Waters
Asiamarine, the official representative for Nimbus in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand, has praised the W11 Legacy Edition for its appropriateness in these regions. With its functional configuration, stability, and features such as the folding side balcony and hydraulic swim platform, it's an outstanding choice for navigating Asian waters. Combining contemporary luxury with a nod to Nimbus’s illustrious history, the W11 Legacy Edition is poised to become a favored option for yachting lovers in the area.
