The Nicholson 351, more commonly recognized simply as the Nicholson 35, represents a high watermark in British yacht design of the 1970s. Launched in 1971 as a successor to the legendary Nicholson 32, this Raymond Wall design was built by Camper & Nicholsons to the rigorous Lloyd's 100A1 certification standards. Throughout its production run, which lasted into the mid1980s with approximately 200 hulls completed, the boat established a reputation as a quintessential "goanywhere" cruiser. It strikes a deliberate balance between the traditional heavydisplacement philosophies of the mid20th century and the emerging preferences for increased beam and improved interior volume. Unlike many of its contemporaries that utilized bolton ballasts, the Nicholson 35 features an encapsulated lead keel, a design choice that eliminates the risk of keel bolt failure and enhances the structural integrity of the hull.
