Built by the prestigious British yard Camper & Nicholson starting in 1960, this classic yacht represents the refined design philosophy of Charles A. Nicholson and Peter Nicholson during the early modern era of fiberglass construction. With only 26 hulls produced, the Nicholson 36 stands as an exclusive example of traditional British yacht design adapted to contemporary materials. The boat's substantial 16,850-pound displacement and moderate comfort ratio of 44.65 suggest excellent seaworthiness for extended coastal cruising and offshore passages. Her fin keel configuration provides good windward performance while maintaining the stability characteristics valued by serious cruising sailors. The masthead sloop rig offers straightforward sail handling and proven reliability in varied conditions. Notable for her robust construction and classic proportions, this yacht appeals to sailors seeking a vessel with genuine offshore capability and timeless aesthetics. The generous beam of 9.50 feet provides comfortable interior volume, while the nearly 6-foot draft ensures solid tracking and reduced leeway when sailing to windward. Her capsize screening value of 1.48 falls well within accepted parameters for ocean voyaging, making her suitable for ambitious coastal and offshore adventures where traditional seamanship and proven design take precedence over pure performance.
