Hello Boater
New Video - Nimbus 495 Flybridge
A True Four-Season Voyager
ENGINEERED FOR EXTENDEDCRUSING Nimbus designed the 495 Fly as a genuine "voyager," not a harbor floater. Her purpose-built explorer-level tank capacity for fuel, water, and waste is key for long-range independence. The Swedish-designed asymmetric "sidewalk" deck ensures safe, easy fore-to-aft passage, crucial for minimal-crew operation. Below, three comfortable cabins, including a midships owner's haven, support extended trips. This boat is about the journey, not just the destination.
THREE CABINS, WOW Jeanneau's "New Concept" line aims for apartment-like living, and the NC 1095 Fly delivers. The saloon features flush floorboards extending to the cockpit, achieving true single-level flow for easy socializing. She integrates a sliding door at the helm—a signature element—for quick side-deck access, simplifying solo maneuvers. Below, her three-cabin layout maximizes weekending potential within a manageable footprint.
DISPLACEMENT SPEED PLUS This new 60-footer builds on the success of the 58 by optimizing every inch of deck and cabin space. Her semi-displacement hull, retaining the signature Frers plumb bow, provides both efficient long-distance range and comfortable speed. The Turkish builder is famous for delivering this capability. The design achieves a seamless, light-filled flow from the extended bathing platform to the redesigned, usable flybridge.

Reborn as a sophisticated explorer, her heavily built steel hull now provides a stable, long-range platform for oceanic research and high-latitude discovery. She features a modern hybrid-electric system for quiet, low-impact operation—a perfect blend of commercial robustness and future-forward expedition capability.
B) You must keep out of the way of the other vessel.
The lights (Red over White over Red) indicate a Vessel Restricted in Her Ability to Maneuver (RAM) (Rule 27). As a power-driven vessel, the fishing vessel is obligated under Rule 18 to keep clear of all RAM vessels.
