Nicholson 36
9 / 43 - 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 quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
