The Nimbus 42 is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Americans F. Michael Kaufman and Robert Ladd as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1981.
The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner propane-fired stove and oven, plus a double sink and an icebox.
The below deck headroom is 76 in (190 cm) and the cabin trim and sole are made from teak and holly.
