The Biggest Pros and Cons
The 1985 Nonsuch 30 Ultra is a distinctive cruising sailboat known for its unique design and comfortable accommodations. Here are some of the pros and cons of this model:
Pros
Spacious Interior: Thanks to its cat rig and lack of a jib, the Nonsuch 30 Ultra offers a wide beam and open interior layout, providing ample living space and comfort below deck.
Easy Handling: The single large mainsail and absence of headsails make sailing simpler, especially for short-handed crews or solo sailors.
Stable and Comfortable: The boat’s full keel and moderate displacement contribute to a stable and comfortable ride in various sea conditions.
Good Build Quality: Built in the mid-1980s, the Nonsuch 30 Ultra features solid construction and quality materials typical of the era.
Distinctive Appearance: Its unique wishbone boom and unstayed mast give it a striking and easily recognizable profile.
Cons
Performance Limitations: While stable, the cat rig design may not perform as well upwind compared to sloop-rigged boats, potentially making it slower in certain conditions.
Limited Sail Plan Flexibility: The absence of a jib reduces sail plan options, which can affect versatility in varying wind conditions.
Unconventional Rig May Require Adaptation: Sailors accustomed to traditional sloop rigs might need time to adjust to the handling and maintenance of the cat rig and wishbone boom.
Age-Related Maintenance: Being a 1985 model, some boats may require updates or repairs due to age-related wear, depending on maintenance history.
Made For
The 1985 Nonsuch 30 Ultra is designed for sailors seeking a spacious, easy-to-handle cruiser that offers exceptional comfort and performance. Ideal for couples or small families, it appeals to those who appreciate a unique catboat-style rig with a single sail plan, making it perfect for both leisurely coastal cruising and extended voyages. Its roomy interior and thoughtful design cater to sailors who value simplicity, stability, and ample living space on the water.
