Recently returned from 9 months of cruising down the east coast of the US (ICW and offshore) and down through the Bahamas to Mayaguana and back. This vessel is a well-equipped cruiser that is priced to sell.

History: In 1978 Camper Nicholson commissioned Ron Holland to design a 35’ Class V IOR Racer/Cruiser. CN built 25 hulls. Three of these were entered in the 1979 Fastnet Race (“The Deadliest Storm in the History of Modern Sailing”) and all survived even after several knockdowns. The IOR specifications were changed after that race and the boat was no longer compliant and CN abandoned the project after the 25 hulls were completed.
