Wooden Ships Comments on this Camper and Nicholson sloop
An extremely good looking, fast and powerful yacht, designed and built by Camper and Nicholson in 1960 to Lloyds 100A1 for H.H. Edwards as one of a series of offshore race yachts he commissioned. She was raced out of the Solent for a couple of years before he purchased his next boat
A truly classic design of the period and the ultimate in design and construction from that time.
This very fine, big fast yacht has had some major work done in the last few years to correct the usual problems that yachts of this period can suffer including centre-line work to strap floors, and new planking in way and a very smart new solid teak deck.
She is a powerful yacht but is easily handled by two from the safety of her exceptional cock-pit and capable of fast, comfortable passages.
This is an opportunity to acquire one of these lovely Camper and Nicholson yachts. Only 4 or 5 were built like this, all similar in design with the huge advantage of someone else having done all the expensive work. Used in recent years for Classic regatta racing and local cruising, she always draws the crowds and is a joy at sea even when the weather turns foul.
