A tale that best explains Nonsuch’s build quality

Two Nonsuch sailboats, renowned for their robust design, have survived challenging ocean conditions and eventually washed ashore, yet remain operational. These vessels, originally built for coastal cruising, are often praised for their durability and ability to handle rough waters. Despite their reputation as primarily Great Lakes boats, some sailors have successfully taken them on transatlantic voyages, demonstrating their seaworthiness. The stories of these two boats highlight the resilience of Nonsuch designs, showcasing how well-built sailboats can endure the elements and continue to serve their owners long after their adventures at sea.

Equipment: Sturdy and Stable: With a total weight of 8,500 pounds and an additional 2,500 pounds of ballast, this boat offers unparalleled stability, making it a safe and comfortable ride even in challenging conditions.

Effortless Sailing: The Nonsuch 26 is famed for its single-sail design, making it incredibly easy to manage. The large, efficient sail is simple to raise and lower, perfect for those who love the freedom of sailing solo.

Powerful Engine: Equipped with a 27 HP Yanmar diesel engine, this boat delivers impressive speed and reliability when motoring. Whether you’re cruising along the coast or navigating through tight marinas, this engine wont let you down.

Fully Equipped: The boat comes with an additional electric winch handler for added convenience, two 30-gallon freshwater tanks, a 22-gallon fuel tank, and three house batteries to keep you powered up during your voyages.

Comfort and Convenience: The newly installed electric head operates at the touch of a button, offering modern convenience on the water. The spacious cockpit comfortably accommodates up to six people, with room for more if needed.

Well-Maintained Sails and Teak Work: The sails are in good condition, with plenty of life left for at least two more seasons. Recent teak refinishing, costing nearly $15,000, adds to the boats classic charm and longevity.

Brand New Bow Pulpit: Included with the boat is a brand new bow pulpit, valued at $1,500, which is yet to be installed. This addition enhances both the safety and aesthetics of the vessel.

Additional Features: Enjoy the luxury of a swim platform, Bimini, and Dodger, all in great shape. The boat also boasts a fully functional galley with a propane connection, a stereo system, a newly replaced rudder, and an autopilot (untested).

Comfortable Accommodations: The interior features two aft single berths and convertible forward seating that can be transformed into additional sleeping space, providing cozy overnight accommodations for you and your crew.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Does this float your boat? Replica of Captain Cook's Endeavour for sale for £2 million

The HMS Endeavour is one of history’s most famous boats. The 368-tonne, 32-metre-long vessel was the ship upon which British explorer Captain James Cook set sail on his three-year expedition to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia.

Now, naval history buffs — or buyers seeking a very unusual property — are in luck: one of two surviving replicas of the boat is for sale with Nationwide Business Sales for £2 million.

The Endeavour replica, constructed between 2001 and 2002, is a reproduction of the original built to around 40 per cent of its size. Moored in Whitby, where Cook’s boat departed from in 1768, it has been a tourist attraction since 2018 when its previous owner, a former naval officer called Andrew Fiddler, bought it at auction for £155,000.

According to Classic Boat , Fiddler spent more than £750,000 transforming the boat into a visitor attraction, appointing design specialists to faithfully recreate the original vessel.

The original HMS Endeavour was sunk by British forces during the American War of Independence in 1778. The other replica, built in Australia in 1988, has sailed around the world, and is also open to the public.

The Endeavour replica was purchased by its current owner in 2022, who has kept the boat in Whitby and runs an onboard experience centre for visitors.

The boat spans 4,306 square foot over three decks, with capacity for 250 people. On the bottom deck is a hospitality area with a commercial kitchen, bar and seating for up to 100 people. The main deck currently houses the visitor attraction — featuring a replica of the original captain’s table — as well as a bar and seating area.

Above, on the top deck, are three masts, the tallest some 12 metres high. Beneath the rigging is an outdoor seating area with capacity to install another bar, according to the agents.

The boat is docked in Whitby, and although it is seaworthy it cannot sail and does not have a motor. As such, it will need to be towed or transported to the buyer’s desired destination.

In 2018, when Fiddler bought it, The Endeavour had to be craned over the lock gates at the Tees Barrage. But thankfully the cost of transport is included in the asking price, says Simon Burbridge, head of sales at Nationwide Business Sales.

Despite its size, mooring the boat is “not actually that difficult,” says Burbridge, thanks to the vessel’s relatively moderate clearance allowing it to be moored in shallower waters and its vertical stabilisers, which make it suitable for a tidal estuary.

“You’ve got a huge amount of space inside,” says Burbridge. “You’ve already got a commercial kitchen, toilet facilities, water and sanitation in there. There’s a loft space inside, and the decking area could be used as an entertaining space — almost like a garden. You don’t get many boats of that size. It’s so significantly different to other houseboats or even restaurants. It’s really fun and quirky.”

The current owner is selling to concentrate on other business interests, meaning that The Endeavour is now on the cusp of a new voyage, with a new owner. Burbridge believes it could be used as large, one-of-a-kind houseboat — “you probably couldn’t get a house of that size internally in the places where you’d be able to moor it”— converted into a novelty holiday let, or continued as a tourist attraction.

Other suggested uses include a travelling restaurant, party boat, wedding venue or casino.

“It’s got a lot of interest,” says Burbridge, who has received enquiries — both private and commercial — from around the UK as well as abroad. These include two UK councils, who have expressed an interest in acquiring the boat as a tourist destination.

“It’s the visual impression that people get - there’s only one other boat like it in the world, and that’s in Sydney ,” says Burbridge. “I think it’s a good, fun opportunity – it probably won’t go to your average homebuyer.”
