Nerissa is a traditional day sailer designed by Michael Webb and custom-built by Wootton Bridge Traditional Boat Builders in 2005. She offers the charm of a classic wooden vessel, similar in style to a Cornish Shrimper, but with the elegance of a lapstrake hull and teak decks. The current owner has maintained her well over the years, with key upgrades including new standing rigging in 2021, a Beta Marine engine, and new teak decks in 2017. While the exterior woodwork and paint would benefit from some attention, she remains a rare and appealing opportunity for an enthusiast looking to preserve and enjoy a classic craft.

Disclaimer: YACHTS.CO INTERNATIONAL LTD offers the details of this vessel for sale but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of the information contained in the specification or warrant the condition of the vessel or equipment. A buyer should instruct his agents, or surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered for sale subject to no prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.
VAT, CE and RCD: prices are as advertised for the seller. Unless the listing clearly says so, don’t assume a boat is VAT paid or that its price includes VAT. Boats first placed on the UK or EU market since 16 June 1998 generally have to comply with the Recreational Craft Directive (in Great Britain, the Recreational Craft Regulations 2017) and carry a CE or UKCA mark with a Declaration of Conformity. Before you buy, ask for and check evidence of the boat’s VAT status and RCD compliance, and take advice if it is to be imported or exported.
Buying through a broker: when YACHTS.CO INTERNATIONAL LTD sells a used boat as broker for its owner, the contract of sale is between you and the owner, and buying from a private owner gives you fewer statutory rights than buying from a business. Any agreement is subject to contract. We recommend an independent survey and a sea trial before you commit.
