What about a Nic32?
 
I've been doing my reading and I think I've made up my mind...I'm going to
buy a Nicholson 32 [Mark 8 hopefully]

Has anyone got an opinion?

Perhap the Contessa 32 or the Rival 32 is more palatable?

Perhaps a She Traveller 9.5 is better value.

Whadayathink?

Appreciated.

Regards.

Thanks for that. I've read that the Contessa 32 isn't as strong in the
hull/keel.

I've been looking at prices:

The Nic35 is out of my league but the older 36 is most definitely
affordable - perhaps less expensive than a 32...is there a problem with
these boats?

Also, I've read that the Nic32 has 6' headroom ...is 6'2" a problem here?


Thanks



The Nic 32 is a fine boat, if you can find one. They are older and with a
full keel. Despite being a rabid Nic 35 owner, I would look at the

Contessa
32 if I were you. Preferably the British (rather than Canadian) version.

Dan,
I think Tony Howard of "Judicious" lurks at "rec.boats.cruising". He will
tell you a lot about the Nic 32
