The Nonsuch 26 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cat rig, an unstayed mast with a wishbone boom, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,500 lb (3,856 kg) and carries 2,750 lb (1,247 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke 13 diesel engine of 13 hp (10 kW). The fuel tank holds 24 U.S. gallons (91 L; 20 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 60 U.S. gallons (230 L; 50 imp gal).[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 with a high of 238 and low of 213. It has a hull speed of 6.62 kn (12.26 km/h).[5]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "the Nonsuch 26 is much easier to sail short-handed than the average sailboat, and that it probably has as much interior room as many 30 footers".[3]

gollark: That just sounds bad.
gollark: What would that help with?
gollark: This seems like it'll just give the existing players more kristmoney, as has generally been the case, but still.
gollark: Isn't the economy *de*flating now anyway, mostly?
gollark: This is obviously much more practical than using dynmap on another monitor.
