Halmatic 8.80 |
Brief details |
Builder |
Halmatic/Camper & Nicholson |
Although designed
by Camper & Nicholson, and fitted out by them on Halmatic mouldings,
the Halmatic 8.80 was always sold under the Halmatic name. Thanks
to the full-width coachroof forward of the cockpit, she offers a
remarkable amount of interior space for her length. The large cockpit
is well sheltered behind a fixed windscreen. |

Built from 1970 to the early 1980s, the Halmatic 8.80
was very much a motor-sailer, with a powerful Perkins or
Watermota diesel. Built to a fairly high quality by Halmatic
and Camper & Nicholson, they now offer a lot of space
for the money.
The design was altered from Mk I to Mk II in the early
70s, with a slight alteration to the deck moulding, and
less interior varnishwork to give a lighter interior, and
again altered slightly, with a little more sail area, to
become the Mk IV and Mk V Halmatic 8.80S in around 1978.
It appears some of the later boats were finished by other
companies on Halmatic hulls, and some also had Watermota
Seapanther 30 hp diesels instead of the larger Perkins.
