1984 Camper & Nicholsons 58
“Roxy”
Description
She has the beautiful lines of the best of the designs of her time, stately and lovely in an anchorage. Her interior is chock full of high-quality joinery from high quality materials that literally glow in the light – this is an interior that will outlast any owner. She features three large cabins to sleep 6 or 7, as well as a large galley and salon space for a spacious and relaxing liveaboard lifestyle. Upstairs she features a large cockpit to spend evenings at anchor in comfort.
All of this belies a very quick-sea going vessel that will get you where you want to go. She’s clocked countless 250-mile days in her time, but with her 55,000-plus pound displacement, she does it with grace and ease and with comfort for the crew. In an era where the phrase “Bluewater Cruiser” is thrown around willy-nilly, Roxy an example of the real deal.
The staysail-ketch sailplan provides so many options to get you where you’re going. As you can see in the pictures as well as the 4 “white” sails, there is also a spinnaker and mizzen spinnaker, and Code Zero to get you going on light-air days.
When the wind dies and it’s time to motor, the combination of the 115 HP Westerbeke and the Hundested continuously variable pitch 24” 3-blade prop will get you home with surprising fuel efficiency.
The vessel is constructed to the highest standards of marine engineering, hand built at the legendary Camper & Nicholsons yard. She's stoutly built of solid fibreglass/kevlar sandwich below the waterline and cored above. It is interesting to note that Sir Robin Knox-Johnson chose this hull (with a few modifications) for his fleet of 8 adventure yachts to race around the world. His version of the vessel, which became known as the CLIPPER 60 were the first yachts to participate in the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race.
The current owners of the vessel have had her for some time and have built on that strong foundation, taking great care of her. They have invested without hesitation whenever maintenance or improvements were required.

Remarkable Performance: Thrilling ocean sailing is at hand as the Camper & Nicholsons 58 Ketch regularly achieves 250-mile days. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a novice, her responsive handling and superior design ensure an exhilarating and smooth ride.
Classic Elegance: The 1984 model projects timeless charm with a classic ketch rig, combining traditional beauty with modern functionality. Her sleek lines and teak accents make her a head-turner in any marina.
Spacious Interiors: Inside the living spaces is where the craftsmanship of the Camper & Nicholsons yard really shines. The spacious salon features plenty of natural light, and the acres of beautifully-finished teak interior glows. Accommodations include multiple cabins for friends and family, with plenty of space for lounging and living.
Well-Equipped Galley: The large and fully-equipped galley allows you the space to prepare fantastic meals while at anchor or at sea. Huge preparation areas, ample storage space, an excellent cooker, and large fridge and freezer make cooking a pleasure.

A large additional selection of photos is available on request.
**Part of the history of this vessel is that she received some cosmetic damage in Hurricane Ivan in Florida in 2004. The boat was trucked by the current owners to the Great Lakes where she was repaired, refit and refurbished to a very high standard over the course of a couple of years. Please contact the broker for details.**

The generator is a four cylinder Westerbeke 12.5 KW old number, W33 New numbers. 12.5 WMD / W 33 / W 33A The pump is WB-30473. My 1982 manual shows no breakdown for the pump parts. The glycol circulating pump is typical to any automotive water pump and can be easily rebuilt with new bearings and seals. A Westerbeke factory replacement is insanely priced. The raw water pump is 115 VAC. It is below the engine room floor. There is a complete spare in the electrical locker. The engine was made by British Leyland for Westerbeke. There will be a Leyland alternate part number. There are many engine spares including injectors, miscellaneous filters gaskets, lift pumps, heat exchangers, oil cooler. A large wooden box closed with screws contains the engine large gaskets. Fuel: There is a fuel polisher, FRANZ, that filters all diesel to 1 micron. Fuel is lifted from a dedicated pickup in the day tank at the foot of the companionway. The pump is 24 VDC next to the filter, 45 gal/hour. I replace the cartridge annually. Fuel is forced through the filter and retuned to the day tank by a separate dip tube. This return fuel line also feeds the Racor filters for both the generator and main engine. This means that only 1 micron filtered fuel reaches the engines. It is highly unlikely that the other fuel system filters will need replacing. This includes the really messy one on top of the main engine. Fuel is stored in four port side welded Inconel tanks. They are about 70 gallons each. Ports on the tank bottoms are 1 inch BSPT threads. There is a threading die in the tools if you ever need to replace a pipe. The pipes presently are BSPT at the tank end and NPT on the outboard ends for standard US threaded fittings. Valving allows isolation of any tank or combining in total. The fill port is a deck screw cap aft of the shrouds on port. There is a small reserve tank in front of the mast, 30 gallons. It is also Inconel. There is a transfer pump to move this fuel to the main tank near the nav station. My observation is that fuel kept in this tank will always be old and suspect. I have not used it since the boat’s transit to the Caribbean in 2016. It was not need then either. If you plan to use this tank be prepared to inspect and clean it. Inspect the transfer pump as well. The fill port is on the port deck ahead of the shrouds. Each engine has a 1 micron bypass filter, Franz, on the crankcase oil.

The starting and house batteries were change in November of 2023 to Blue Heron LiFePo, lithium iron phosphate. These are determined to be safe by ABYC. House 3 X 210 amp hours = 630 AH@ nominal 24 volts. Starting 110 amp hours, Total 740 AH. There are two battery KEY switches on the main panel. Both should always be on. The house battery, while large, is not rated for the main engine starter load. For this reason, the starting battery, two X 12 volts in series, was added. Charging sources: overcharging lithium batteries is very damaging. Find the Blue Heron literature and scan the APP to your pad or phone. I suggest getting the pay version for better data reporting. All charging sources have been programmed to top out before 100% charge. See generator discussion below.
Main engine alternator. This is a 60 amp externally regulated by a Balmar mounted by the small inverter at the nav station. The Balmar has been set to 50% = 30 amps. Charging lithium draws 100% of the alternator capacity and can burn it up at full output, even with the temperature probe attached to the case. This can happen while motor sailing after many hours. We find that even detuned, it’s possible to reach nearly 100% charge so we unplug the Balmar. Watch your battery APP. Generator. The generator, 12.5 kw, runs the cold plates and the Victron charger/inverter. The generator also has a large alternator with a Balmar external controller. For big charging by generator turn the Victron on using the black rocker switch in its face. The combined output of the alternator and Victron is 70-80 amps. Use the Bogart meters set on amps to see the current delivered to each battery. Use the APP and stop charging at about 90%. There is a requirement that the generator always is connected to a battery. If you charge to 100% using the generator the lithium BMS’s will disconnect automatically. This causes an issue where the Balmar can increase output to over 30 volts. Avoid this when running the generator even for operating the cold plates or damage could result. Solar charger. Three panels combined are 660 watts. The charger is MPPT. In the tropics on a good solar day the panels will produce over 700 watts and 115 to 135 amp hours. The DC refrigeration and freezer along with other users draw about 120 AH per day. This means a general draw down at anchor. Run the generator to top up. I suggest using this opportunity to run the water maker at this time. If you accidentally fully discharge the lithium banks their BMS will disconnect. Connecting to a charging source will charge the main house bank but an interlock in the boat’s key & relay system won’t permit the starting batteries to reconnect. In this case, use the Heart Interface Path Maker to switch to ‘Manual On’. This will correct the issue instantly. Normally keep the Path maker OFF
