The Nicholson 39, designed by Raymond Wall and introduced in 1976, represents a pivotal era for Camper & Nicholsons as the yard transitioned from traditional longkeeled heavy displacement designs to more modern, performanceoriented cruising hulls. As the successor to the immensely popular but more traditional Nicholson 38, the 39 was conceived as a highquality, centercockpit cruiser capable of transoceanic passagemaking while offering a level of interior luxury and privacy that was revolutionary for its size at the time. Built to the rigorous standards that defined the Gosport yard, the hull was constructed of heavy, handlaid GRP, featuring a deep fin keel and a substantial skeghung rudder, a configuration that balanced the directional stability of its predecessors with improved agility and reduced wetted surface area.
