Enrico Zaccagni, the new archivist for Camper & Nicholson, shared with me that he has made all the work that Jeremy Lines did to digitize the Nicholson 38 (and others) drawings available online! Go to this website: http://www.cnyachting.com/the-archive/ Note: As I write this, the website seems to be a work in progress that improves each time I try to use it. So be patient, it’s great C&N is putting any effort into making this information publicly available. You can search by your Boat Name, but I believe this only works if your boat name is the same as originally built. If the archive recognizes the name, you can click on the result and see a thumbnail version of the 79 blue-print drawings for the original design for our boats. Note: I don’t think the intention is for this site to allow you to download those drawings. The archive page says “The website is intended to supply an overview the archive; for in-depth research and hi-res materials, our team can be contacted”. If searching by your boat name doesn’t work, search by Boat Name: “Rainshadow” using no other search criteria, and you will get 1 result that shows thumbnails of the 79 available drawings. (That’s our boat name and I know it works.) Or if you want to see a list of all Nicholson 38 boat names that the archive knows about, enter this search criteria: Category: Yacht Sail One-Design With this search criteria, you get 129 results. You can change the order of the results by clicking the column header. If you want to try to compare the 129 results with tour group’s Member Directory, I recommend you sort by the year built. Even then it’s a bit confusing because our list is by last known boat name, while the C&N list is by first boat name. Once you are viewing a result, there is a Request Information form. I sent in a request for information and did not get an autoreply, so I suspect this request for information may go directly to Enrico. I will update this posting once I get any response. Enjoy exploring this new archive. Here is the announcement that Enrico asked me to make available:

Good news for folks wanting to purchase from the CN Yachting archive. Members of our forum are entitled to a discount as we are considered to be “members of a C&N owners association.” Here’s what Enrico recently sent me:
In addition, Enrico gave me permission to make available the Handbook and List of Drawings. Logged-in members to download these documents from the following menu option (see the black bar above, just under the header photo) About the Nic 38 > Nicholson 38 Documentation (Or you can click the link I included above) If you get the message that it is for logged in members only, you need to log-in using the login box on the right side, just under the black menu bar. |

I’m commissioning a scale model of Rhapsode (ex CYN III). I don’t have my computer with me, only a small iPhone and I’m having difficulty in identifying the right plans needed from the archive. I need a simple plan of the deck but without the clutter of the insides if such a plan is available plus a side view and stern or bow view. Can anyone offer any guidance please? Peter |

Hi Peter – By drawing number as specified on the CD that Jeremy Lines created: – 7 “offests for extension to hull mould”, gives dimensions for shape of hull including keel. – 12 “sail plan” includes dimensions of masts – 23 “Deck Plan” shows the deck layout (without interior details) and the starboard side view above waterline (keel not shown) – 44 “Arrangement of bow pulpit” is strictly about the pulpit railing, not the bow. – 45 “Stemhead Fitting” is strictly about the metal fitting, not the FRP bow. I could not find drawings specifically for the bow or stern. Hope that helps. Marilyn, moderator |
