Summary
The Nonsuch Ultra 30 is designed as a recreational keelboat, an easy single-hander. “Tiki” is a well-maintained example of the Nonsuch line of catboats. The two-cabin layout affords onboard privacy & comfort. Her tall, unstayed mast and distinctive wishbone boom are an eye catcher at any anchorage.
Specifications

The Ultra model of the Nonsuch 30 incorporates several enhancements over the original classic design, including a longer cockpit, an improved galley layout, and more extensive storage options. 

  • Rigging: The most distinctive feature is its unstayed mast with a wishbone boom, which eliminates the need for vangs, travelers, or a headsail. All control lines are led back to the cockpit, making the boat exceptionally easy to sail short-handed or single-handed.
  • Hull & Performance: The boat features a modern hull design with a fine entry, wide beam carried aft, a fixed fin keel (or optional shoal keel), and a spade-type rudder. This configuration provides stability and good performance, including the ability to point well to windward, which is uncommon for traditional catboats.
  • Interior Volume: Due to its innovative design and wide beam (nearly 12 feet), the Nonsuch Ultra 30 has an interior volume comparable to that of a much larger 35-foot boat. The cabin layout typically includes a private forward V-berth stateroom, an L-shaped or U-shaped galley, a salon with settees (one of which can convert to a double berth), and a head with a separate shower stall.
  • Construction: Built by Hinterhoeller Yachts, the boat is known for its high-quality, balsa-cored fiberglass hull construction.
