Launched in 1974 by the renowned British yard Camper & Nicholson, this masthead sloop represents classic English yacht design philosophy during sailing's golden era of the 1970s. The 35.25-foot cruiser embodies the traditional qualities that made Camper & Nicholson legendary among discerning sailors worldwide. Built with solid fiberglass construction, the boat features a fin keel with rudder mounted on a protective skeg, providing excellent directional stability while maintaining reasonable performance. Her generous beam of 10.42 feet creates spacious accommodations below, while the substantial displacement of 15,650 pounds and impressive ballast-to-displacement ratio ensure sea-kindly motion and stability in challenging conditions. With a comfort ratio of 36.39, this design prioritizes seaworthiness over pure speed, making her ideally suited for serious coastal cruising and offshore passages. The conservative sail area-to-displacement ratio of 14.14 reflects her cruising nature, though she'll reward skilled sailors with respectable performance in moderate conditions. Her low capsize screening value of 1.67 indicates good stability characteristics for extended voyaging. The Nicholson 35 2 appeals to traditionalists seeking a well-built, comfortable cruiser with the pedigree of one of Britain's most respected yacht builders.
