Description
The Nicholson 31 is a classic and seaworthy yacht, designed by Camper & Nicholson and built in 1977. This ship is known for its robust construction and long keel, making it particularly suitable for long voyages and rough weather. The timeless design combines an elegant silhouette with the reliability one can expect from a true bluewater cruiser.
Inside, the Nicholson 31 offers a warm and atmospheric interior with extensive use of teak and maritime woodwork. The layout is practical and comfortable, with sleeping space for five people, including a spacious fore cabin, a cozy salon, and extra sleeping places at the back. Thanks to the solid finish and thoughtful design, it is pleasant to stay on board, both during longer journeys and shorter trips.
The engine is provided by a reliable Yanmar diesel engine, which has been carefully maintained over the years and has been professionally overhauled several times. In combination with the traditional long keel and balanced rigging, this results in a yacht that is course-stable, stable, and easy to handle, even by a small crew.
This specific ship has undergone various renovations and upgrades over the years, making it an excellently maintained and ready-to-sail yacht. It is not only a beautiful piece of sailing history but, above all, a reliable partner for sailors looking to explore the horizon.
