Broker Remarks

This Nicholson 35 was the Camper and Nicholson Earls Court boat show boat in 1983.  Built to an even higher standard than usual with a slightly different layout to other models. The major difference is the location of the heads which are on the port side and self contained (not a walk through to the forepeak). A stunning boat with a duck egg blue hull and teak side decks and cockpit.  DRIFTER underwent a comprehensive major refit in 2003 which included Volvo engine, electrics, batteries, instrumentation, standing rigging, running rigging, fully battened mainsail with stack pack, lazy jacks and other improvements.  If you are looking for a comfortable cruising yacht that inspires confidence, is quick and great fun to sail this Nicholson 35 head turner is for you.
