Design & history

One of the most successful yachts built by Camper & Nicholson, with hulls molded by Halmatic and a production run of nearly 20 years.

Production

Hulls were molded by Halmatic, a sister company under the same corporate umbrella as Camper & Nicholson. The design underwent a number of changes during its nearly 20 year production run. Beginning around 1968, a number of boats were built under license by Rudder Yachts of Australia. Some of the later boats were sold directly from Halmatic.
