<p>Monohull boats are vessels with just one hull, as the name itself suggests. They can be monohull <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/sail">sailboats</a> or <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/power">powerboats</a>, which means they can be powered by an engine or by the wind. In addition, monohull boats can have a high level of luxury on board and can therefore be referred to as monohull yachts. At TheBoatDB you can look into monohull boats and explore their features. In addition, you can filter your search through monohull sailboat manufacturers and explore all models available on our site. Compare all models on our website from the comfort of your home.</p>

<p>The 365 is an international award-winning boat with superior design qualities - where large spaces for socializing and leisure activities have been combined with excellent long distance cruising characteristics. The 365 is all about functional design and is built for the conscious boater who appreciates simplicity, comfort and safety, but also for families who want to enjoy a perfect weekend cruise.</p><p>The model year 2022 for Nimbus 365 offers some exciting modifications that will improve the look of the boat, both exterior as well as interior. The side cabin portlight has changed shape and doubled in size, offering more natural light in the cabin. All portlights are also painted in a fresh white color, which, in combination with their new shape and size, result in a more modern look and feel throughout. Additionally, a new Nordic Oak wood finish is available. The oak, in combination with a new cushion fabric color “Carbon Beige”, and the new roof panel in “anthracite” above the dashboard gives the boat a light, modern, and elegant Scandinavian touch.</p><p>On the exterior, the signature waterline has also been modified. The new colors, dark blue and smoke silver, give the boat a fresh elegant look.&nbsp;</p><p>The most eye-catching feature of the 365 is its exterior profile. The new 365 has a more modern design language, with sportier contours inherited from its sisters, the 305 and 405. The intention has, of course, been to provide the boat with an appearance more in harmony with the rest of the Coupé range, but above all it is a matter of improved functionality.</p><p>The 365 Coupé is the second largest model in the Nimbus award winning side-walk Coupé series. The side-walk design concept provides generous freedom of movement, making getting on and off the boat easy and safe. It also adds ease-of-movement around the boat from bow to stern. The 365 is equipped with solid pulpits in stainless steel for extra safety and a large integrated sunbed on the foredeck. Concealed on the starboard side you will find the fuel tank, septic tank discharge and improved efficiency drainage.</p>
