Like its smaller sibling, the 335, Nimbus's new 365 Coupe features an asymmetric deck, giving priority to the starboard side deck, but still allowing movement around the port side. A door from the helm leads out to the starboard side deck so the skipper can no longer escape the ropework. This new 365 has a much lighter look than previous Nimbus models thanks to a large sunroof and deep, frameless window lines. Mahogany is the wood of choice - so Nimbus traditionalists won't be disappointed. Below decks, the forward master cabin houses a proper island double berth, while space has been made in the mid cabin for a useful mini-sofa and decent storage space. Back at deck-level, a galley sits behind the helm seat, and across the way there's a U-shaped dinette offering an excellent view. The 365 is a very comfy cruiser at 18-20 knots, but will push on happily if required. Tested September 2009.
