Classic GRP Nicholson 36 for sale

Camper & Nicholson were very sharp during the transition from wood to GRP and could see what the future was bringing. This Nicholson 36 was one of their early forays into GRP construction, designed by Charles Nicholson and actually built for Peter Nicholson. Because of their inexperience with the new material, they had the hull moulded by Halmatic who were the UK experts at the time. The design is typical of the C&N yachts of the time with elegant lines, and was finished with a painted wooden deck and varnished mahogany cockpit and superstructure so she looks like a true classic yacht. 7 berths with 1.84m headroom. Easily handled yacht, well mannered and very capable in classic yacht regattas.

  • Builder: Camper & Nicholson
  • Year: 1962
  • Location: Hampshire

Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter built at the same yard and in the same year as the larger Olga. One of the smallest in the Pilot cutter fleet which makes her no less seaworthy but means she is easier to handle and sail with a small crew.

Beta diesel, great rig and plenty of gear. Ready to inspire the next custodian to sail away on a Tillman inspired adventure. Reduced to a very low price in order to find the next deserving custodian who will appreciate this fine boat and continue her sailing adventures. The owner is less concerned about the money than about the type of buyer so all auditions welcome!
