The Nicholson 26 is a 26.58ft masthead sloop designed by Camper & Nicholson and built in fiberglass by Halmatic Ltd. since 1968.
64 units have been built.
The Nicholson 26 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
