Nicholson Classic 35 (ex Yeomen XIV)

'Day at The Races' is a beautiful classic one-off design by Peter Nicholson . This classic 35 footer was commissioned in 1966 for Sir Owen Aisher under the old One Ton Cup Rule and built by the famous Camper & Nicholsons yard in Gosport. She is a very competitive offshore and inshore racer /cruiser with a highly successful race pedigree. She is now offered for sale with transferable mooring in the Beaulieu River. She had a major refit in 2001 with all structural and mechanical components replaced. The refit was done very sympathetically retaining the original features that makes Day at the Races such a very special and unique yacht. During the refit, she was fitted with a new engine and electrics, cooker and heads. Then 9 years later in 2010 all electronic and navigation systems were upgraded. In 2011 her mast and all rigging was replaced and upgraded, including a carbon fibre spinnaker pole. She is for sale with a wardrobe of sails including Bruce Banks main and jib in Hydranet and a new Bruce Banks spinnaker. This classic yacht is a real part of the UK's sailing history , she has been extremely well looked after and upgraded by her present owner. She is well known on the classic regatta scene and is ready for her next custodian to bring home the silverware. She is available for viewing 7 days a week. Accommodation The accommodation for 6 is arranged with 2 main berths and 2 pilot berths in the central saloon, a navigators berth aft and one foreward in the forecastle. The sides of the pilot bunks drop down for easy access. The forecastle also doubles as a rope and spinnaker store. Just foreward of the mast is a hanging space to port and the toilet and washbasin to starboard.
