Electric-Powered Nonsuch 30 Ultra with Stern Thruster, Custom Hardtop & Legendary Wishbone Rig - A Truly Unique Florida Cruiser
Introduction and Key Features
The 1987 Nonsuch 30 Ultra "Kahuna" is a cruising sailboat unlike anything else on the market. Designed around the philosophy that sailing should be enjoyable, comfortable, and uncomplicated, the Nonsuch combines a powerful cat rig, expansive cockpit, and remarkably spacious interior into a vessel that feels significantly larger than her 30-foot length suggests.
This example takes that concept even further through an innovative Quiet Torque 10kW electric propulsion system, substantial 48V battery bank, stern thruster, electric winches, and numerous modern upgrades. The result is a yacht that is exceptionally easy to sail, easy to dock, and easy to own.
One of Kahuna's most desirable features is her custom fiberglass hardtop over the cockpit. Particularly valuable for Florida cruising, the hardtop provides welcome shade from the sun, protection from afternoon rain showers, and creates a comfortable outdoor living space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
The Nonsuch's signature unstayed mast and wishbone boom eliminate much of the complexity found aboard conventional sloops. There are no headsails to trim during tacks, no shrouds restricting movement forward, and no need for a large crew. Sail controls are simple and accessible, allowing one person to comfortably handle the boat while guests relax and enjoy the ride.
Combined with her wide beam, spacious accommodations, and modern electric propulsion system, Kahuna offers a uniquely relaxing sailing experience that few boats her size can match.

• Quiet Torque 10kW electric propulsion system
