1963 Camper & Nicholsons 36

Josephine is a rare 1963 Camper & Nicholsons 36, one of only 25 examples built. The yacht features the solid fiberglass construction characteristic of early Nicholson design, representing a significant chapter in classic offshore sailing. At 36 feet with a 9-foot beam, she embodies the proportions and seaworthiness developed during the golden age of cruising yacht design.

The boat received a major standing rigging replacement in 2023, paired with Selden spars. This work establishes a foundation for serious ocean sailing while respecting the original design intent. The yacht is fitted with a Beta Marine auxiliary engine for practical coastal and harbor work.

The interior layout and accommodations typical of the Nicholson 36 provide comfortable cruising spaces below, though specific cabin and berth counts reflect the era's approach to live-aboard comfort. This is a well-maintained classic with proven ocean credentials and recent investment in essential systems.
