Nimbus 27 Nova S

In production 2007–2012

The Nimbus 27 Nova S is a GRP sterndrive walkaround cruiser of about 8.4 m, built roughly 2007 to 2012 and CE category C. It has a 2.8 m beam, a 3050 kg dry weight, a 240-litre fuel tank and a single cabin with a heads. Power was a single Volvo Penta D-series diesel sterndrive.

The 27 Nova S replaced the 26 Nova and was one of the more numerous late-classic Novas, built on a stepped GRP hull with a single Volvo Penta sterndrive diesel, commonly a D4-260. A hardtop sister, the 27 Nova S HT, was also offered.

Unusually for this range the boat has both a hull-only draft (0.80 m) and a drive-down figure (1.15 m 'Djup') on record, so the drive-down value is loaded here to match the basis used elsewhere in the wiki. Maximum power is omitted, as sources give only recommended and fitted ratings. Length is the LOA including bathing platform; the hull figure is about 8.10 m.
