Dave began building boats in 1954 and has spent the following 46 years developing his skills as a Master Boat Builder. Nickels Boat Works (NBW) was established as a means of providing high quality one design sailboats. Beginning with the International Lightning Class, followed by the Rebel and Snipe Classes, NBW has developed the reputation of building winning boats. Sailors know that a Nickels' boat can be sailed 'Right Out of the Box'. Nickels Boat Works prides itself on having eliminated the frequent returns to the shop for rigging adjustments. The quality of boats from NBW insures that they maintain a high resale value. Innovations at Nickels Boat Works have included refinements in hull design (within class specifications), which have resulted in World, Pan American and North American victories. In addition to improvements in design NBW has continued to make improvements in rigging, mast construction, floatation, rudder design and building methods. Dedication to detail has been the hallmark of NBW. In addition to building sailboats Nickels Boat Works has designed and builds custom trailers for each of its boats. These fully galvanized trailers have the unique quality, they are stackable so you can move two or even three boats at the same time to a regatta and then unload them with the lift. Nickels Boat Works has entered the next century with Dave Nickels as its Master Boat Builder and Hugh Armbruster as the new owner. This relationship allows NBW to not only continue building quality sailboats but also to improve its delivery capabilities.

What exactly is 1stAboard.com?

1stAboard was created in an effort to provide the best possible price to vehicle transport customers by creating a service which allows multiple auto and boat transporters to compete for loads in a single location. When you post a vehicle for transport, depending on the location, time frame, type of vehicle, and other circumstances, your load will accommodate one carrier's current runs better than another. 

For example, if you want your vehicle hauled from Chicago to Miami, there might be a transporter on the board looking to fill a carrier which needs one more car. This company will offer you a lower price to get your vehicle. Or you may post a boat for transport from Florida to Maine. There might be a boat hauler on the board who needs to get back to dispatch, loaded or not, so they will offer a lower rate to secure your load. 

There are many factors when determining the price of relocating a vehicle, by having a group of transporters with various circumstance bidding for your quote, there is a greater chance of receiving the best price possible.
