This boat is ready for
cruising! We have been living aboard for the past year and half and have
sailed nearly 5000 miles. She is completely refit and loaded with
everything you need to go cruising in comfort. The newest addition is a
brand new, custom designed and built composite mast and wishbone boom from
Composite Engineering in Massachusetts. She was just delivered in June
and we have sailed extensively in the Mid- Atlantic and down to the Southeast.
Nonsuch's are fast, stable and yes, they can point as high as any other
sloop rigged boat. Her long waterline of 31.5', provides a 7.4 knot hull
speed, and we have surfed up to 11 knots with her. A dream to sail with
her fin keel and newly balanced rudder.
We have owned her 10
years and have replaced nearly every mechanical and electrical components.
She is powered by a Lynch 13KW, 72VDC electric motor and is capable of
speeds up to 7 knots. Quiet running with all the tremendous torque from 1
RPM and up. Recharge your batteries while sailing, through regeneration,
and have all the power you need to motor back to your slip or mooring.
Have to motor a long distance? Fire up the Honda 2K generator and
run like a hybrid. We enjoyed a 2400 mile sail out the St. Lawrence, from
Lake Ontario to Boston, and only burned 5 gallons of gas in the generator.

All through hulls and sea cocks

2008 bottom was stripped and
barrier coated with 4 coats and Micron CSC was applied. She is currently on the hard in St.
Augustine, but will have her bottom repainted for launch after the holidays.
As you read through the list, it
does not say enough about what has been done to this boat. She was purchased in 2001 with the intention
of keeping her for the rest of our lives.
So while she was wintering, in an insulated barn, we have done
everything we could to ensure she was fit for that lifetime. We also wanted to make sure we had all of the
creature comforts of home while cruising.
She truly is a remarkable example of a 33 Nonsuch and has been an
exceptional boat for us. Living aboard
full time, and still working, has driven us to find a vessel with more personal
space. We never wanted for more storage
space on Yumsuch, but needing an office has become the driving force to sell
her. Including the new mast, she has had
over $120,000 in upgrades over the past 11 years. There is absolutely no work needed to go
cruising!
