Welcome to the Nicholson 26 Owners' Association

About the Nicholson 26

PinkalooSmallest of the Nicholson fleet, the 26 is a real seaboat with her long keel and 4 ton displacement.

More than 6'2" headroom in the saloon makes these boats surprisingly roomy for their era.

Many have cruised long distances and they can be singlehanded with ease.

The construction is robust, all GRP with encapsulated ballast keel.

Purpose of the Site

Trekka 1967 Nic 26This site serves as a portal to the Nicholson 26 Owners' Association forum. Over time, it is intended to include some of the more static data that is contributed to the forum on the web site itself, so that it is more easily accessible.

We hope the site will serve to allow owners (existing, past, and potential) to share information, ask questions, and promote the use and enjoyment of the Nicholon 26.

We would also like to develop a gallery of Nicholson 26-related images. If you have any images that you would like to include here, please post a message in the forum and we can take if from there.
