The Nicholson 38 is a respected classic cruising yacht, admired for its solid construction, seaworthiness, and timeless design.

Built by Camper & Nicholsons in 1970, it features a heavy displacement hull and long keel, making it exceptionally stable and capable in offshore conditions. Sailors will appreciate its safe and comfortable motion at sea, even in rough weather.

The center cockpit layout provides excellent protection and visibility, while the roomy interior, including a separate aft cabin, offers livability rarely found in boats of this size.

With its graceful lines, the Nic 38 combines traditional charm with bluewater capability.

Many have circumnavigated or completed transatlantic crossings, proving its reliability as a long-distance cruiser. Though not a racer, its steady performance, ease of handling, and dependable Perkins engine make it ideal for serious cruising couples or families seeking adventure with peace of mind.
