It’s a great boat, Almost pulled the trigger. Other shoppers might want to note that the “berth” to which the dinette converts is exceptionally short. Anyone larger than a moderately sized adolescent will not fit. Was one of the main reasons we had to cut it. Nimbus is a fantastic builder and this model is amazing.
Amazing commuter / family fishing day boat. I would like the galley ceiling height to be taller though. I'm 6' 1", and that's without shoes on. They're plenty of other men taller then me, and I wouldn't want any friends feeling uncomfortable because they would have to stoop down. But that aside, Amazing commuter boat. God bless you all boat test crew. Great work as usual. Well done.
I am always surprised that the pass-thru height is not mentioned in your tests. In my country (with thousands of low bridges) absolutely necessary knowledge. Aside that, great video: THANKS
@@michiganengineer8621 Thanks for that, I tried to find it on the English version and could not find it. Almost 4 meters, that is very high. For Amsterdam, that means you can not get into the canals. THANKS, much appreciated.
If flipping the lanthern you could get it down to 3,25m but that would requier customisation of the radar construction. Flipping just above the radar. Im going to try to do that on my C11
You could probably get one mounted in that storage area where the inboards would be. Not sure if the SK3 would have enough torque to completely stabilize a 40 footer though.
@@shurikkouzmine8399 The SK3 runs on 12VDC so you wouldn't _need_ a generator. You would need a good sized battery bank however and some way to keep the bank charged. The outboard alternators would do quite a bit towards that and if you were to add solar panels you would probably be good.
@@shurikkouzmine8399 Seakeeper _claims_ the SK3 will work from battery banks. On the roof of the Nimbus it looks like there is enough room for 2 full size panels, those are now available at over 400W each, remember you would also have the alternator output (whatever that is with the Cox engines) from the outboards while underway. As far as the battery bank is concerned, it depends on how much of that space you want to dedicate to it and how deep your pockets are. My point was that it _COULD_ be done without a standalone generator. Adding a small diesel generator would probably be cheaper in the short term.
Not so I’m afraid. All European vessels must have a kill cord fitted at a helm station. The aft station hits that category. Males of a certain disposition tend not to wear them. Look up the “Milligan Rib Accident Padstow UK). That will give you all the detail as to why you should wear a kill cord. It’s no effort or hardship - and it does save lives. I’ll stop preaching now lol.
At 80 years old, having been on the water all my life I think I could put a commuter together that will do the same job, for quite a bit less... 'Nuff said!!!... Video was entertaining, thanks for posting

One of the most practical boats I've seen in a while.
They certainly do make good use of every square inch below deck. Well done.

4000 miles away and only a few days ago motor boat & yachting uploaded their review video of the inboard version of this boat!

According to the information on the Nimbus dot se website, the C11 has an air draft of 3.75m or 12'3"

This is the perfect type of boat. Love your videos. Greeting from Albania 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
It looks similar to an Axopar, nice looking boat.
Very similar. Nimbus are built in Sweden. Though I think the Axopar features/layouts are just a bit better.
I think the axopar and C11 differs alot. Just in shere size, the C11 is much bigger.
See MBY T11 review they have at Axopar 37 next to the nimbus T11
Really great test! Really great boat! I want one.
Looks like that one was tested up out of Anacortes Wa if i am seeing the scenery correctly.
ticks all the boxes axopar 37 was lacking imo
I'm really liking that Nordhavn? on the adjacent dock!
Great boat - very very expensive, but pure quality, really shows when you take a closer look at one.
Great review. 🇸🇪 power house
Great performance numbers. Tank good size for commenter, maybe not so much for a cruiser.
I'd definitely have one.
Does 11 mean 11 meters?
Love the boat. Would I be able to have a Sea Keeper 3CC?

Generator will be needed

@@michiganengineer8621 Solar panels?😀 Really?😀 SK3 Operating Power 750 Watts/hr

You know they had to add the safety lanyard on the aft control station because that step right there can cause you to fall overboard.

I'm sensing a bit of Axopar DNA in this one...almost like Nimbus is trying to be the higher-trim version?
Similar design for similar use. I think Brabus is the high trim Axopar.
Nimbus are built next door in Sweden so that Scandinavian design is definitely similar.
If they're marketing this as a commuter, they shouldn't take the "you can't afford it" approach to publishing the price.
What brand of seats?
They know how to deign and build boats up in the Nordics.
How about speed in knots and range in nautical miles? It is a boat afterall. Other than that it was a good video
That's why I have a converter app on my phone
I have a converter on my phone to. It's a calculator. 😏
@@alanploetz7100 Yeah but with the app you don't need to know any math
Surprises me that it does not have windshield wipers
Did you even watch the video? It has 4 wipers. 2 on the windsheild and one on each side window.
@@BilldalSWE I only watched to 6:40 - I guess I missed them - will rewatch

As high a quality?
They are not evo3 s displays...
No dual GO 12 :-(
Axopar vibes
Dont compare with axopar, to totaly diffrent. Axopar and saxdoor is more comapreble.
Lekker ma... sorry... very nice indeed. I'm getting Botnia / Nord Star / Sargo / Saxdor vibes.
Also, yes, Axopar vibes.
Nimbus are built next door in Sweden so it's not a surprise you're picking up some Finnish Axopar vibes.
Funny Fisherboat!
