Nicholson 36
8 / 22 - score 57%
The Nicholson 36 is a 36.25ft masthead sloop designed by Charles A. Nicholson/ Peter Nicholson and built in fiberglass by Halmatic Ltd. since 1960.
26 units have been built.
The Nicholson 36 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
