History Of The 'nic 32' By Camper And Nicholsons

HISTORY OF THE NICHOLSON 32

In 1960 the Hunting Group of Companies acquired Halmatic Ltd a company specialized in reinforced plastics.The principal product of the company was yacht and boat hulls ranging from 8' to 76' in length.

Demand for hull mouldings being spasmodic the Halmatic directorate decided to improve the work flow by diversification into complete vessels. At that time the 'Nicholson 32' hull was being moulded at Halmatic for Camper & Nicholsons. An agreement was reached between the two companies to build a new production sailing yacht. Camper & Nicholsons were commissioned to design and market the yacht. Halmatic were to tool, mould and complete it: each company making the best use of individual skills.

Thus the 'Nicholson 32' was born, the first of an illustrious line of GRP production yachts.Probably more thought was given to this design by Peter Nicholson than any previous sailing boat. The design parameters were good weatherly sailing performance, moderate size. safe and easy handling, high quality but easily built and, not least, good value.The all GRP concept was the result, hull, deck, superstructure, toilet module and any other components all bonded together including interior ballast, forming a strong homogenous structure.

During 1961 the tooling work was accomplished under Dennis Porter at Halmatic in Portsmouth and in the summer of 1962 the prototype 'Part Assembly' was delivered to the fitout yard.Completion was accomplished by Field Aircraft Services - Marine Division at Wymeswold in Leicestershire. Fields, another Hunting Group Company, possessed engineering shops for wood and metal work with specialist skills in manufacture of wooden aircraft and executive interiors for jets.

The Marine Division were already building 36' and 38' sailboats for Alden in America, and the 'Christina' motor yachts were in production there. Close collaboration between Jerrv Lines at Camper & Nicholson, Southampton, Dennis Porter at Halmatic and Norman Hall at Fields, ensured that each company made their professional contribution in terms of operational, ergonomic and aesthetic values. The yacht had many features which are accepted as standard today. She had adequate head room, was lined throughout, properly ventilated, modern toilet and galley facilities, good insulation, everything that made lift afloat comfortable. She had a strong, weII balanced rig, carefuIly design cockpit and exceptional sailing ability in all weathers. During the winter of 1962 the prototype was built and N32/1 Forerunner was commissioned during May 1963.
