Here’s Espalmador II, the Swan 43 I’ve had the pleasure of racing on board on and off for the last 10 years. She’s a real beauty, most of the expensive stuff has been done, and she is for sale

I was living in Poole 30 years ago, and I remember seeing a lovely Nicholson 43 with a beautiful varnished timber dodger over the companionway moored alongside the Town Quay occasionally.
I regret never taking a photo of her, and I now cannot remember her name - can anybody remind me please?

OK, I will remind you now.
Next time you see it. Take a photo
I just remembered when I read your note - she was called 'Hunza'.
And I just found her online -

Right. --Now tie a piece of string round your finger & you will remember not to forget
By the way. The forum has a neat method for links, up in the menu bar above your post.

As Kukri knows, I also have a Nic 43. There is another cracker up for sale on Yachtworld - Oberon. She’s only £45k. I had the pleasure of being on board back in 2009. A beautiful boat owned by a very friendly man, Malcolm, who said, ‘when the conditions get awful there is no boat I’d rather be than my Nic 43.’ He also owned a Swan. Off the back of that endorsement we bought ours 2 months later.

When I was in Whitehills Marina in Eastern Scotland last year, I was berthed astern of a Nicholson 45. These photos are screen grabs and cropped from a drone video I took. Sorry they are not as clear to be able to read the name on the sailcover.
A very elegant proper yacht.

Notice how the cockpit on Concerto looks just as good & how much beamier she is as a ratio of length than the Nic.Also the wider stern. Yet she is 11 feet shorter.

You could say the same about a mini 6.5

design a cockpit -
Length of bench = snooze
Width = perfect support at heeling angles , back rake and support and lip =‘ just so’,
Feet perched on opposing bench edge or flat against opposing coaming, legs straight
Job done
Oh and don’t let it all get too high over the longitudinal axis or it’s all motion sickness jerk n pitch innit

‘ ergonomic’ : can reach the kettle on the Refkex heater without getting off the skippers chair ?
