Designed and Built by Camper and Nicholson in 1969, the Nicholson 38 is a Classic, Long Keeled, Ketch Rigged, Centre Cockpit Cruiser whose Design has stood the test of time.
This is a well-appointed example, the current owners (of 14 years) have spent much time and money, sympathetically upgrading the boat. Improvements include, but are not limited to: 2002 Engine, 2017 B&G Navigation Suite, 2019 Batteries, 2020 Standing Rigging and 2021 Sails.
The boat had an insurance survey in October 2020 which showed the boat to be in excellent condition ,this could be made available for inspection after a successful viewing.
Broker's view: " The Nicholson 38 is, rightly, well-renowned as a go anywhere, Blue Water Cruiser and this is a nice example of one. The boat has been significantly upgraded and is ready to sail away. On a mooring in Portland Harbour and ready to view."
