The Nicholson half-tonner was designed by Ron Holland in 1976 to the Half Ton Cup IOR rule, and early boats had considerable racing success.

The hull design was later used, with minor alterations and a different deck moulding, for the Nicholson 303 cruiser-racer.

The various 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, etc. 'ton' classes are now no longer the top flight of ocean racers, but provide good club racing boats at a sensible price.

This example has been both cruised and raced, and has has an almost new suit of Diax laminate sails, plus up to date instruments. She has a slightly deeper and heavier keel than was originally designed, a three inch lead section having been added to the iron fin in 1981.

The full racing rig has runners and a powerful hydraulic kicker, but for cruising use she has an alternative smaller main which does not require the use of the runners.
