Nicholson 40 ds
5 / 23 - score 59%
The Nicholson 40 ds is a 40.0ft masthead sloop designed by Camper & Nicholson/Raymond Wall and built in fiberglass by Camper & Nicholson since 1977.
19 units have been built.
The Nicholson 40 ds is a very 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 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.
