Boat description Nymph was built in Scotland in 1963 by McGruer Yacht Builders. She came to the Puget Sound region on her own bottom in 1980, via the Atlantic, the Canal and Hawaii. After a 17-year project to refit and restore her, Nymph is now in excellent condition both aesthetically and structurally. She is strong, beautiful, and able. ...... Nymph is a traditionally built wood boat, that feels good to voyage in. Nymph is completely equipped for comfortable and safe sailing....but not at all a 'push button' cruiser. She has cruised several thousand miles (>6k) in the Salish Sea region. .... More boat details at: http://jackschooley.com/NYMPH/ ... At the bottom of page 1 on Nymph's website, you"ll see my email address. Send me a note now! ...
