The Nonsuch 40 is a development of the Nonsuch 30, which was the first design in the Nonsuch series of sailboats.[1]

Production

The design was built by Sen Koh Shipbuilding in Taiwan, with the boats completed and fitted-out by Wiggers Custom Yachts in Canada. A total of 5 examples of the design were completed before production ended. The design was marketed as the Journeyman 40 in the United Kingdom and as the Sequioa 40 in Canada.[1][3]

Design

The Nonsuch 40 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. 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 26,896 lb (12,200 kg).[1]

The boat has a draft of 6.56 ft (2.00 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The design has a hull speed of 8.48 kn (15.70 km/h).[4]

gollark: I was going to star "i cant hear you, you've been blocked for like a month or something because of being an attention whore", but alas.
gollark: Hmm, apparently you cannot react to messages sent by users who have blocked you. Interesting. This allows testing for blockedness.
gollark: Fascinating.
