GNH:
I like my Nonsuch so much that I have never felt the need to look at another boat since I bought it in 1995. I like it even better with electric propulsion. BTW there are three Nonsuch's that have converted to electric propulsion including mine. The others are a 33 and a 26 foot model. The book about the Nonsuch 30 that was abandoned off the Azores and ended up in South America is called WITHOUT RIVAL. It's just been reissued on Amazon and is a very good read. That boat is still sailing today.

At the time (@ 1978ish) it was a competitive decision for a shallow draft cruiser, meaning ok to run aground or bump into something.
Basically the displacement is 11,500lbs and the ballast is 4,500lbs hence the 8 tons in the straps. Wikipedia tells a nice story of some missing boats found months later still floating. In the Northeast US it is a fantastic vessel. Captn Mike has done a fantastic job integrating the E-Prop, you also for that matter.

Wow, that's a lot of over build but if you are anything like me some of that is 'stuff'. Given that, the performance of the Nonsuch under sail becomes even more impressive.
