Broker's Comments
The Nicholson 26 is the smallest of the Nicholson fleet, and 64 were made overall. It was one of the most successful yachts in the Nicholson range and recognised as a trusty sea-boat with a long keel and 4 ton displacement.
The hulls were molded by Halmatic and built by Burnes Shipyard, meaning the Nicholson 26 has a high quality finish. Whilst being made in 1969 she appears to be in good condition and well maintained.
The interior of this boat has more than 6’2″ headroom in the saloon, which means she is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. The boat has four berths and so can be used for family cruising, and is more than capable of sailing long distances singlehandedly without great difficulty.
The headlining does need a little attention but on inspection this purely looks cosmetic and a simple repair. All receipts for work carried out professionally over the past 10 years. If you would like to know more, or arrange a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
