Broker's Comments

Nicholson 30' Project.

The Nicholson 30' is a familiar sight in the waters around Portsmouth and a few have passed our way on Brokerage.
They were ahead of their time when they were new but now look old enough to be a modern classic.

This example is on the market for the first time in 36 years as she has had only one owner from new.

Bought as a hull and fitted by and under the direction of her owner she has been a great family boat.
Now in need of some serious work to get her sailing again she is being marketed as a project in the true sense of the word.

She will need everything from headlinings to windows, upholstery to standing rigging and more besides.

Please phone for a more detailed assessment of her good points and bad points and lets see if we can get her out on the water where she should be.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Nicholson 30 has been personally photographed and viewed by Peter Watt of Boatshed Portsmouth. Click here for contact details.
