Although weight has been well controlled on this 40-footer, the Nimbus requires a little power to move. For this reason, the boat is offered in several configurations including 2 x 300 hp or 2 x 400 hp, the most popular. We tested the 2 x 400 version with two Mercury V10 engines.
A well-designed hull
Like the rest of the boat, the W11's hull offers a blend of tradition and modernity. It's a sharp-chine hull with a progressive V that's classic in appearance. However, the section is shallow, so that when sailing, the forward third of the hull barely touches the water. Three solid strakes provide guidance and grip, and above all, the W11 benefits from two steps which reduce its wetted surface, improve planing, increasing speed and reducing fuel consumption.
