Description
The Nicholson 31, designed by Camper & Nicholson and built in 1977, is a classic and seaworthy yacht with a robust construction and long keel. Its elegant design and solid build make it a true bluewater cruiser, suitable for long journeys and rough weather.
The interior exudes warmth with plenty of teak and comfortably accommodates five people. The layout is practical and makes staying on board pleasant, both for short and longer trips.
The reliable Yanmar diesel engine has been well maintained and professionally overhauled several times. In combination with the balanced rigging and long keel, this ensures steady and pleasant sailing, even with a small crew.
An inspection revealed osmosis in the hull. For this reason, the asking price has been significantly reduced. This offers a handy sailor or someone who is not afraid of a project an excellent opportunity to restore a solid and characterful classic to their liking.
Despite this point of concern, the ship remains a strong foundation for those dreaming of distant voyages with a proven ocean-worthy boat.
