Design notes from Camper & Nicholson:
"The Nicholson 30 was designed by us (Camper & Nicholsons) as
a Half Tonner in 1972 as a development of the 9.5m Brigand which we had designed
for C.I.M.A. in Italy and which had won the Middle Sea race.
The moulding was done by Robert Ives and the Fit Out carried out by Camper &
Nicholsons at Gosport under the direction of Richard Bagnall. The first yacht,
"FRACAS" was completed by her owner Jeremy Gilbert and the 2nd yacht,
"ALYSINA" was completed by C&N for Sir Peter Johnson. Hull
No.27, "SANJOLA II" was campaigned hard by John Adams and Richard
Bagnall, and No. 30, "CAPRICANTE" was owned and raced hard by Peter
Barton, our company buyer.
In 1973 a Part Assembly and a complete yacht were shipped to Paul Tennyson’s
Canadian Sailcraft yard, for series production over there.
63 yachts were completed in the U.K., 17 of them being completed by their owners
from a Part Assembly kit. As this yacht was raced hard and competitively numerous
modifications were made to the keel, rudder and rig both during production and
as an after sales service.
Boats 1, 2, 3, 5 & 10 all had the Mk.1 Rig with the shorter mast. There
were no changes to hull shape apart from a modification to the rudder skeg and
in some cases its removal.

Archatrob K 3217 ?, 1974 Cowes Week: ?e/??, Comment from
Facebook 2020 Aaron GS: " This was “Archatrob”
in 1974 coming away from our first ever Cowes Week race. Somehow we ended up
after a long spinnaker run, 1st at the first-mark. We could not believe our
beginners luck but alas we were clueless upwind and went from 1st to mid fleet
very very quickly.", 2020 April, from IOR, RORC & CCA Ocean
Racing Classes Facebook, Aaron: "Late father had
a Nic 30 called “Archatrob” K-3217. He found a one year old boat,
never sailed in a warehouse in Yorkshire of all places. Nice boats but the mk1
versions had to have the skeg cut off and a lead shoe bolted to the underside
of the keel. A sister ship called Sanjola(?) managed 5th at the worlds I think";
