For Sale: Cheap Nicholson 32 for sale in Guadeloupe

[Zolo]

Photos attached.

Strong classic plastic with full keel and thick hull. Has Windpilot (autopilot) and wind generator for power. Beta Marine engine 28HP. Dinghy with outboard. Sails well in heavy weather, but old with a few issues.
Selling her for just 8k EUR as a result.

Just put her in a marina in Basse Terre, Guadeloupe.

Last owner took her across the Atlantic so she comes with a hardware store on board. Bought her in Grenada for a season for the Caribbean as I didn't want to sail my other boat across.

A few issues, as mentioned. The engine was working fine for the months I used it but the morning I left I tried running the engine for a video demo but when I tried bleeding I noticed diesel wasn't getting to it for some reason. (Low on fuel/ Fuel line issue?). Seems like a simple fix but annoyingly I only had an hour and get to the bottom of it. Jib is on hanks (no rolling fuller). Some of the electrics (windlass and v berth light) for the front of the boat not working, but can be fixed by an expert (I'm a new sailor). Engine stop button doesn't work either so I stop her with the lever on the engine. Not as annoying as I thought it would be though, so never got round to fixing. She also leaks some motor oil, so I make sure to give her a top up when I use the engine. Price reflects these issues. You get what you pay for, but I'm open to offers as I don't want to keep paying for marina fees.

Got her hauled out in March, antifouled, and installed a new cutlass bearing.

I also have a mooring in Hog Island, Grenada if you want to sail her down and keep her there for free

I just finished reading "Half Fast", by Randy Baker, lots of sailing on a sister ship.
This is a robust good old boat, I wish I was in the market for one...
Good luck with the sale.

A solid blue water yacht. Worth it just for the self steering windvane.

Dear Ms Zolo: If this is a hoax, please apologize. Otherwise I'll ask the admin to cancel your account. --WB

Doubt it's a hoax, this is a boat that was for sale in Grenada that I recommended to a couple of folk on here last year.
Looks like Zolo was the person who bought it.
Try a PM instead..

I tried a private message (PM?) first and after several days wondered if I'd done it wrong and/or if Zolo didn't read it. It seems neither since I haven't heard either way. Were the pictures a repost of what you saw a year ago? --WB
