Captain's Notes
Ahoy fellow sailors! Let me share a bit about my time aboard the 1985 Nonsuch 26, a vessel that truly captures the spirit of easy sailing. One of the most delightful quirks of this design is its wishbone rig. It allows for smooth sail handling, even when single-handed—just a few adjustments and you’re off, gliding through the water. I’ve found the ride quality to be exceptionally stable, whether cruising along a gentle coastline or tackling a brisk afternoon breeze. Its compact size makes it perfect for exploring hidden coves or anchoring overnight, yet it doesn't skimp on comfort. The interior, bright and airy with its standing headroom, has always felt inviting after a long day on the water. For weekend getaways, there’s just enough space for a couple or a small family, making it a perfect choice for creating memories. Plus, the reliability of its diesel engine ensures that you can trust it for those longer sails when you want to venture a bit farther out to sea. Each outing feels like an adventure waiting to happen!
