The Nonsuch 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa cored deck and 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] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the standard keel fitted. [1] [3]

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] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with two straight settee berths in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with a single berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The enclosed head is located opposite the galley on the starboard side. [1] [3]

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). [8]

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". [5]
