$19,500USD SIMPLE RIG!! Nonsuch 26 sailboat for sale
"This is for an older person that wants to go sailing but doesn't want to have to fuss with much," said Captain Q about this week's find. It's a Nonsuch 26 with a simple cat rig... no jib, no traveler adjustment, a spacious interior (especially for a 26-footer), wide foredeck, and in good condition. It's a really simplified way of getting out and going sailing. She's got a nice little engine, good electronics, and great headroom for a boat this size. It seems perfect for a couple or young family that wants to do some cruising.
It's priced at $19,500.

my fav will always be Island Packet Estero, but they are not cheap.
That's the first boat at 26' that I think I'd actually enjoy taking island hoping for a season or two. It's really a small boat that thinks it's a 32' plus Yacht. I bet it would be a blast to single hand and though probably capable of making a crossing I don't think I'd want to do that with her. For something to bomb down to the Bahamas and just piddle around I think she'd be as close to perfect as you can get from a boat of that size. Thanks Capt and Randay for showing her to us because now I have another cheaper option to consider. I think she'd make a great first boat that could help someone to decide if the sailing lifestyle is for them or not without breaking the bank. The added bonus is docking and maintenance fees would be about as low as you can go and still have a decent level of comfort as a live-aboard for a few seasons...

I sailed a 1987 Nonsuch 26U on San Francisco Bay for 20 years. She is surprisingly fast and is extremely competitive in snotty weather with the first or second reef. She'll be dry and doing over 7 knots while other boats are fighting the wheel with their rails in the water! The 26 is also great in light air while the 30 ft version is better is heavy winds. So much fun!
I've always been partial to the Nonsuch boats. I like the 30 Ultra.

I sailed one recently. Great boat, but the mast is too high for the intercostal waterway, therefore not a Loop boat. I am keen on a 26.
I've seen a couple of people (single sailors) who coastal cruise liveaboards. What a great boat for a liveaboard boat. Simple, easy to maintain rigging and super easy for one person to handle. It's no wonder they don't come up for sale very often.

Source of Nonsuch name is not the castle referred to but the ketch that was the first trading boat of what became the Hudson Bay Company. Nice overview. I have one of the last 26's built and they are great boats, especially for coastal cruising, and incredibly easy for single-handing.

Lovely little boat.
These are very common on Lake Ontario (there's a 30' 2 slips down from me) and much prized for their ease of sailing and roominess - as one owner put it, great socializing boats. Not great to windward, but then nobody's racing in a Nonesuch. However, they are having a very good time.

Speaking first hand, the Nonsuch 26 is a great boat! As we cooled our racing shoes I managed to persuade my father to consider a Nonsuch; I don’t think he was entirely happy about it, but he succumbed, and I loved it! I could leave the dock and pick her up at her mooring and have an honest 30 minute sail, meaning thirty minutes start to finish. With a stack pack on the sail it was so simple and so easy to just take off alone in any kind of wind. I dreamed of the great loop and the Bahamas, but it was not to be. Covid shut the borders and my access to the boat, and a friend wanted to buy her, so we let her go. And I miss her terribly! She helped me scratch my itch in the best of ways. To heck with vanity and tradition if it gets you on the water comfortably! Hoist that sail with a reef or two and she is a blast to sail solo in a solid breeze. BTW, that was the “ultra” layout. The “classic” is bit more traditional if you are interested. The missing heater was actually a propane fired hot water heater. If I could recommend anything it would be a riding sail as the 26 is prone to walking on her mooring/anchor.

I spent the last two days hauling my Vandestadt and McGruer Siren 17 out of the garage where it's been since 2007 and cleaning it up to sell. I haven't been sailing since then but, I knew I liked to sail and messing about with the boat reminded me how much I like sailing. I'm selling my house and travelling, Ecuador for starters with the idea I might find a place I want to stay. While I was messing about the boat I was thinking maybe I might end up buying a Capt Q boat and staying a lot of different places. I'd be an "older person that wants to go sailing but doesn't want to have to fuss with much." Almost scary! Thanks for, maybe, kismet!

Love the folk boat… we’ve been looking for one near us
I owned the 22, 26 and 30 ft versions of the Nonsuch - Well made boats...Note the pram shaped low wetted hull with the high aspect keel....Its pretty efficient on all points of sail but particularly effective on a broad reach or downwind run where that large wishboom 'vangs' out the large mainsail. Note that the hull is fully cored above and below the waterline - makes an otherwise large hull lighter - George knew as much as anyone about cored hulls but it should be something that is particularly closely considered when a Nonsuch is surveyed...Also run the boat at speed as my view is that there was often vibration from engine beds which (in my opinion) weren't as substantial as other boats I've owned. You're working with a very long mainsheet and with the mainmast so far forward you usually have less chance of accidental jibes ( but if you accidentally jibe, run -don't walk- to get your head under the binnacle as that mainsheet is likely to leave a bad impression around your neck!) It sails surprisingly well to windward and you use the 'choker' line (which moves the wishbone fore and aft to flatten or curve the mainsail) to create power/de-power depending on the wind. Because its a single large sail (not two) going to windward and with the high aspect keel it doesn't have as pronounced a sailing 'slot' that it settles into. The unstayed 2-piece mast has a slightly thinner extrusion at the top to enable 'flex' at the top as you beat - that flex can actually 'spill' wind to prevent overpowering. Like many non-traditional designs it has its strengths and weaknesses - Its a very large sail, mast and wishboom...Because its an Ellis design and a Hinterhoeller build, it has good bones and they are capable (and worthy) of renovation and refreshing...One thing that you will appreciate is a deep bilge (capable of capturing the contents of any one tank!) and the fact that Mark and George were adamant about ensuring access to engine, tanks and the underside of any winch or deck hardware for servicing...
a great unique SV design look back episode!...also ~24:50 noticed that ubiquitous provision, even back then - curious I purchased some (yum?) and now all I want to do is go sailing!! thanks CQ and RanDay!

At sea in a storm, Nonsuch types as this hove to dangerously with stern to the wind, exposing the cockpit and companionway to being pooped from aft by big waves due the forward windage of the rig. This is dealbreaker behavior. There is no bridge deck at the companionway so any wave coming aboard goes straight down below, filling the cabin. Good boat for Lake Ontario.

Really interesting boat and very practical .... especially given an electric motor even a 20 hp equiv outboard electric drive ... Silent more torque and you would free up the interior space and could remove the fixed prop.. reducing drag...though an oceanvolt regen unit would also suit as on Sailing Uma. No desiel noise or smell or maintainance worries or fuel problems.. It would be easy to add a full weather enclosure to that cockpit ..and you could easily rig a parachute sail, as an emergency back up, to the base of the mast or as a full on down wind runner ..😁 Wheeee I bet she would skim the surface. 🤔 A wharram type wing sail would also be eminently possible with one of these. Great for the IWC and great lakes...? Theres a modern scow bowed equivalent to this SFF been released last year...but it has a conventional rig.

All of the Nonsuch "Ultra" models have got to be some of the very best and easiest to operate liveaboards on the market. I cannot get over how roomy that 26' vessel was wow! Try to find a Hans Christian 33 and you'll have finished the trinity of Nauticat, Nonsuch and Hans Christian. Another great boat to keep your eyes open for is a Cabo Rico Northeast 400.
