Her distinctive cat rig with a free-standing mast offers uncluttered deck space and effortless topside movement—perfect for solo sailing or relaxed day trips. Tacking is as easy as it gets with her single sail configuration.
Below deck, the warm teak interior sets a classic nautical tone. She sleeps four, features a well-equipped galley with a two-burner propane stove and oven, pull-out counter extension, stainless sink, 12V refrigeration, and fold-out teak dining table. The spacious enclosed head with vanity adds welcome comfort.
She’s powered by a reliable Westerbeke 21 HP diesel engine (2,240 hours), paired with 2 AGM house batteries, a starter battery, and a Guest smart charger. Navigation is a breeze with her Garmin C188 chartplotter/sounder, Autohelm 3000 autopilot, rebuilt Ritchie Globemaster compass, and VHF radio.
On deck, enjoy cockpit cushions, a cockpit table, dodger, and an enclosure (fair condition). Sail handling is effortless thanks to self-tailing Barient winches and reefing systems. A Bruce anchor is ready to drop, and the new 12V anchor winch is waiting for installation.
Recent upgrades include fresh bottom paint, and the boat comes with a 2021 survey available for review—bringing confidence to serious buyers.
Whether you're looking to cruise the local waters or enjoy a classic with pedigree, this Nonsuch 26 offers the perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and proven performance.
