Nelson Boat Builders

Past and present Nelson Boat Builders

There have been, and indeed still are, a number of different companies that produce Nelson boats. Some companies produced bare mouldings that could be fitted out by other yards, some also fitted out their mouldings as well as selling bare hulls and superstructures for other yards to complete.
