No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical.  Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.  The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition.

Above - the fixed windshield-style sprayhood on this well-traveled 1973 Nicholson 35 is not standard.

Below: layout plan of the Mk I version - later boats had a very similar layout but with a quarter berth aft of the chart table to port, a substantially taller rig, with a 51 ft mast replacing a 45 ft one, and the propeller position moved further aft. Note: The displacement and ballast figures given at the top of this page are believed correct, but various sources quote other figures - both lower and higher - for the displacement. Different Mks may thus have different displacements. We would welcome an authoritative answer!

Early boats - up to around 1977, as illustrated here, usually had a Perkins 4108 or Watermota Sea Panther diesel with hydraulic drive. Later boats usually had a Perkins 4108. The sail area and mast height was also increased post 1977.

 

The fact that this design is so sought after as a fast, powerful passage-maker does tend to mean that most 35s have had more wear and tear than many other yachts of similar vintage. The Camper & Nicholson build quality does however usually seem to stand up to such usage.
