Notes

Some of these (Nicholson 58/60)were cutter rigged and some ketches. Camper & Nicholson sold the builders tooling to Colvic Craft.
Also sold as the BLUEWATER 58.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnson chose this hull (with a few modifications) for his fleet (8) of adventure yachts to race around the world. (Known as the CLIPPER 60).
Draft for fixed keel version: 8.50'/2.59m.
