VISION
Charles E. Nicholson 48 ft International 8-Metre 1930/2022
Description
VISION was conceived by Charles E. Nicholson and built by Camper & Nicholsons with the unarguable potential to be a winner, in particular at that time of the ‘Canada’s Cup’. She somehow took a little time to prove it, but over the past 40 years VISION has been perhaps the all-time most successful International 8-Metre (8mR) – eight-time winner of the coveted Sira Cup, the World Championship for pre-1960 boats. Purchased in 2021 by a gifted, competitive, and successful Italian racing yachtsman with the aim of again winning the Sira Cup, a restoration and optimisation process begun in previous ownership was completed with aplomb at Imperia by Sibma Navale Italiana. Her owner reported, “We have restored VISION back to exactly as she was when built in 1930. She is very fast...”. At the 2024 World Championship in Scotland she won everything a classic 8-Metre can including the Sira Cup, Neptune Trophy, and Coppa d'Italia. Gather a good team, step the mast, and she’ll do it again.
