SVIP has been the subject of a complete and comprehensive nut and bolt restoration over an 8 year period, and was launched for the first time in 2018. Every single aspect of her has been restored/replaced/renewed during this time, and she is now in virtually concours condition, and certainly substantially to a higher quality than new. The Nimbus 26 Olsen is a classic period cruiser with offshore capabilities, and is sure to turn heads in any harbour in the world.
