    There’s info on the outhaul on Marilyn & Van’s website https://svrainshadow.com/?p=983

    Now I’ve read that I realise that my own outhaul has been trashed somehow and is another thing I need to investigate …

    Thanks for your reply.

    I could do it like that by getting something welded to the end of the SS pin however I am not sure I would want all that strain (of the luff tension) just on the split pin on the top.

    I am wondering whether a direct connection to the sail tack (down to the kicker eye) might work?

    I think James has just removed his – he’s the Admin on the Facebook group

    It’s in the comments of this post – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1531746530547778/?multi_permalinks=1653526841703079

    As you are off to Turkey have you arranged to see Ayla yet?

    She looks really great – just a little too far for me

    Hello Anne

    Thank you for the description – that already answers a couple of questions. More pictures would be very useful yes please my email is  guyh2  yahoo com – just put in the @ and  .    🙂

    & Kenneth – “Stella Scot” is the other boat on my shortlist – I am currently looking into the additional costs & logistics of moving her back to the UK together with the possible import VAT implications etc

    Best wishes to both of you

    I did get a reply from Enrico to my request back in January – I’ve copied it below –

     

    Good morning Guy.
    Thanks for visiting the C&N Gosport archive and congratulations for your interest in a Nicholson 38 . A really succesfull yacht.
    As you have seen in the archive’s website page we have 80 drawings.
    We also have several other informations, like Specifications, brochures,the Handbook, a notes and explainations document for this model.
    The original Handbook has been digitised and has 4 piping diagrams. This Handbook was probably the first handbook written for a G.R.P. yacht and has a very wide description of the yacht and its parts. It contains also the original addresses and telephone numbers of all the suppliers , none of which are still existant, but have been retained for archival reasons.You understand that it is a wide technical documentation. The Archive’s owners indicated and stated the cost of any single drawing , as it is done by other outstanding archives, like the one of Mylne yacht designes, G.L.Watson, S&S, J.L.Giles,NMM , and we are in line with their prices . This means that the A4 drawings are listed 30€, A3 drawings: 40 € , A2: 50€ ,A1:80 € , A0:100 € plus VAT 22%. The General informations +handbook with its drawings + brochures +mini plans+ specifications for the NIC 38 cost 100€ +VAT .
    I understand that to buy all the drawings is a not insignificant expense as there are 32 A0 size drawings; 12 A1 ;5 A2;2 A3;32 A4 for a listed value of 5080 € .
    The best I can do for you is to apply the maximum discount of 60%. for the quantity : 2032 € + VAT.
    In case you are not ready to invest this money as you havent bought your yacht yet, I can suggest you the most useful drawings for the Nic38/11 for a total cost of 600 +VAT 22% :
    047 ! Docking Plan A1
    050 ! Lines Plan Please note this is a large drawing 1/8 th full size. A0
    069 ! Rudder Arrangement and Details. All yachts. A0
    066 Hull and Deck Construction For Yachts No 1 to 30 approx. A0
    049 !General Arrangement Mk II Yachts 11 to 27 A0
    059 !Sail Plan ! Yachts 1-91 A0
    Handbook+ drawings.
    Looking forward to read about your decision ,
    I send you my best regards
    Enrico Zaccagni

    Hello Anne

    Yes, I have seen Interim (she is on my shortlist!) and actually emailed Bates Wharf (before seeing you on here) although have not received any reply from them.

    I know it’s not the easiest time to be buying a boat right now, but I am sure things will be getting better soon.

    I would be very interested in any further information & photos you may have

    Best wishes
    Guy

    Thank you Marilyn for adding me to your forum – I have been looking for the right boat for over a year now and have narrowed it down to a heavy displacement, long keeled ketch around 35′-40′. My shortlist has come down to the Nic 38, the Belluire Endurance 35, closely followed by the Super Sovereign 35 and looking to purchase ideally in the next few months
