The Biggest Pros and Cons
The 1986 Nonsuch Ultra is a distinctive sailboat known for its unique design and comfortable cruising capabilities. Here are some of the pros and cons associated with this model:
Pros
Unique Cat Rig Design: The Nonsuch Ultra features a cat rig with a single, unstayed mast and a large mainsail, making sail handling straightforward and ideal for short-handed sailing.
Spacious Interior: Thanks to its beam and design, the interior offers ample living space, comfortable accommodations, and excellent headroom, making it well-suited for extended cruising.
Stable and Comfortable Ride: The hull design provides good stability and a smooth ride, enhancing comfort during offshore passages.
Low Maintenance Rigging: The absence of shrouds and stays reduces maintenance requirements and potential rigging issues.
Good Performance in Light Air: The large mainsail and efficient sail plan allow the boat to perform well in light wind conditions.
Cons
Limited Upwind Performance: The cat rig and large mainsail can result in less efficient upwind sailing compared to more traditional sloop rigs.
Single Sail Plan Limitations: Having only one sail limits sail configuration options, which can affect balance and performance in varying wind conditions.
Potential for Increased Heel: The tall mast and large sail area may cause more heeling in stronger winds unless reefed properly.
Availability of Parts: Given the unique design and age of the boat, sourcing specific replacement parts can sometimes be challenging.
Price and Market Niche: The distinctive style appeals to a niche market, which may affect resale value and demand.
