Pre Amble:

The Nicholson 35 was designed in-house by Camper & Nicholsons in 1970/71, and remained in production from 1971 to 1990, with various minor model changes from Mk I to Mk VII. All Nicholsons 35s were finished by Camper & Nicholson themselves, to a very high standard. About 230 were built over their long production run, and they have a superb reputation as a safe, fast passage-maker. 

The 1976 Nicholson 35 is a classic cruising yacht, widely respected for its seaworthiness, solid construction, and timeless design. With a proven track record for offshore passages and a reputation for being reliable and comfortable, the Nicholson 35 is ideal for serious sailors seeking a capable and stable bluewater cruiser.  Camper & Nicholsons are one of the most prestigious British yacht builders, this model exemplifies quality craftsmanship and traditional design.
