Nimbus | 1983 O’Day Sun Fizz

Charleston, SC, US

About

"NImbus" is a meticulously maintained O'Day 39 designed by Phillip Briand and modeled after the Jeanneau Sun FIzz. This vessel is built to withstand heavy conditions while offering comfortable and spacious cabin layouts. Over the last 25 years, "NImbus" has sailed the Great Lakes, participating in multiple races to Mackinac.

The cruiser features three cabins and two heads, with a convertible salon table that can be turned into a fourth berth. A privacy door can create a primary berth at the bow. Over the past few years, "NImbus" has undergone significant upgrades to prepare for open-water cruising. These upgrades include a new autopilot, AGM batteries, B&G radar, and much more.

The new owners embarked on a journey from Lake Michigan to Charleston, SC, cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and venturing offshore. Their adventure highlights the vessel's seaworthiness and readiness for extended voyages. "NImbus" is now turnkey ready for its next adventure, promising reliability and comfort for future owners.

Working with Andrew Hodgdon at The MultiHull Company was a great experience. Andrew has years of experience in the multihull market, especially performence catamarans and was the Technical Director at Balance Catamarans for many years. He’s always available to talk, guide and advise. He’s easy to work with, is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very pleasant way about him. I would highly recommend Andrew to help in your sale or purchase of any multihull.

Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
