Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this 43′ Camper and Nicholson Sloop Camper and Nicholson sloop designed by Charles E. Nicholson and built by C&N in 1951. She was a revolutionary boat due to the method used for the construction of the hull. The plank seams are edge glued rather than caulked and payed in between making her a very tight and dry boat. Her build and early years are well documented in Yachting World articles. Unlike her later C&N sisters, she is slightly narrower in the beam and with more sheer, making her a very elegant boat with her long counter stern. In present ownership since 2021 she has had various jobs and refit work carried out to improve and upgrade the boat leaving her now in a good and very smart state, ready for classic regattas and cruising. Fitted with alloy spars with in- mast furling , she is now a very easily handled boat, often sailing single handed even in stronger winds. The boat comes with a detailed maintenance log going back to 1995, a well cared for and properly used pedigree classic yacht. May 2022 survey available. Length on Deck 43’2″Length Waterline 29′Beam 9’6″Draft 7’2″Thames Tonnage 13 TM Construction Carvel planked in 7/8″ teak fastened with copper nails and roves to laminated oak timbers. The planking was fitted tight together with glued seams, a revolutionary method of construction at the time she was built. In 2021 the topsides were taken back to bare wood and re-splined.

She had a canvas sheathed plywood deck when built, and the current owners had the sheathing removed and 14mm teak laid over the ply in 1995.
