By modern standards Nicholson 32s are massively
strongly built, and remain popular as economical go-anywhere cruisers.
They have a very high reputation for seaworthiness, many having
made long ocean passages. This 1968 example is in better condition
than many yachts half her age. |

The forecabin berths are about 6'
4" long on the vee, with an infill to make a triangular double,
very wide at the aft end but narrow forward. |

The heads compartment is between saloon and forecabin, with
a marine WC to port, and (not shown) a washbasin and lockers to
starboard.

|
The interior of the Nicholson 32 was clearly designed in the
age of regular chartwork, with a large stand-up chart table by
the companionway. A coolbox is fitted under the aft end of the
chart table. The saloon has two berths 6'3" long, with the
port side berth converting to a narrow double (37" wide).
Saloon headroom is a maximum of 6' 0" aft.

The Sabb diesel is just 10 hp, small by todays standards, but
drives a large fixed prop, giving very adequate auxiliary propulsion.
The engine started immediately from cold when these photos were
taken, and runs well, with an uncannily slow tickover thanks to
the massive flywheel. Under engine cruising speed is about 5 knots,
with a maximum of about 6 knots.
