About this Nicholson 31

English

The Nicholson 31 needs no introduction, a traditionally styled yacht with pretty lines, this model was designed as the successor to the Nicholson 32 - although a foot shorter it proved to be roomier and faster.  A hugely seaworthy vessel, they have a comfortable motion with a sensible layout below and make excellent long distance cruisers.  Halys is a good example and presents well with her stylish blue hull and grey decks.
