Nicholson 38
12 / 51 - score 57%
The Nicholson 38 is a 37.83ft masthead sloop designed by John Alden & Assoc. and built in fiberglass by Halmatic Ltd. between 1966 and 1975.
134 units have been built.
The Nicholson 38 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a 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.
