2006 Hedley Nicol Vagabond MKII Trimaran

The trimaran returns to the market following completion of an extensive refit covering her hull and decks, rigging, interior, machinery servicing and onboard systems. Built in 2006 to Hedley Nicol’s Vagabond MKII design, this 12-metre sailing trimaran combines a distinctive three-hull layout with a 6.20-metre beam, twin bow trampolines and a teak-laid cockpit.
The refit has renewed both her presentation and key equipment. Highlights include replacement standing rigging, a Dyneema running-rigging upgrade, a complete hull and superstructure repaint, new cockpit cushions, renewed interior finishes, replacement batteries and a serviced Yanmar diesel engine.
Below deck, warm timber detailing and light upholstery frame a saloon with facing settees. Accommodation comprises a forward double cabin and two single berths amidships, with a compact galley and a separate heads compartment with shower. On deck, the cockpit table and renewed seating create an inviting space for time aboard.

This beautiful turn-key trimaran is available for pre-inspections in southern Turkey now.
Please contact us for further information or arranging a viewing.
