We have a website with extensive pictures, maintenance summary for the past 15 years, and complete gear list here: https://6a6252ab50b27.site123.me/
Nicholson 32s are solid, well-respected bluewater cruising boats. Aeoli has only had 3 owners, including us, and has been continually cared for.
This bulletproof boat took us all around Puget Sound, the San Juan and Gulf islands, up Vancouver Island and all the way down to the Sea of Cortez.
She's been on the hard for just a year and is in cruising-ready condition. We'd love for someone to pick up where we left off and continue adventuring!
