Kaila Den the Nomad 20

In January 2009, after much dreaming about having a yacht and complaining that I didn't have one I finally found this tired old Nomad 20 at Sailaway in Belmont.

I had a chat with Gavin and Ross (the father and son Sailaway team) about her and made an offer. Fortunately the GFC meant that the owner was keen to sell so my offer came through. I didn't know much about the Nomad 20s. Ross had owned one as a previous boat and assured me that it had self-righted after a knock-down on Lake Macquarie.

I liked the size of the Nomad, big enough interior but still small enough to tow easily, as an expert would later comment "a simple and honest little boat".

So here are a few pics of "Kaila Den" at Sailaway.
