Based on the original John Alden designed Mistral the Nicholson 38 was stretched in length gained a higher freeboard and boasted a revised rig arrangement. Launched at the 1966 London Boatshow the design was an instant hit with the sailing public Although now superseded by more modern and beamier designs the Nic 38s still maintain their reputation as classic yachts which sail very well and make comfortable cruising yachts with plenty of living space.Classed originally as a motor sailer the Nicholson 38 s quickly became known for their performance under sail.
