Some of the most experienced yachtsmen in modern sailing own and enjoy a Nonsuch. Gordon Fisher of Canada, a racing yachtsman and defender of Canada'a Cup, conceptualized Nonsuch from a basic need. He needed a sturdy, fast, family sailboat that he could race without a crew. Jibs, genoas, spinnaker, stays and shrouds were totally eliminated. Four were built and sailed in 1978 and results were astonshing. The boats were not only remarkably well balanced in all conditions, but they were superior to many so-called racing machines.
Although they are no longer manufactured, Nonsuch continues to be a favorite of racers and cruisers who are looking for comfort and the ability to sail short handed, and because of their characterically sturdy contruction, they have managed to maintain their quality and resale value over the years.
Today, Eastland Yachts is proud to specialize in these fine yachts and have become one of the most reputable and experienced Nonsuch dealers in the country. Having sold hundreds of Nonsuchs both new and used, Eastland Yachts is not only a great place to list your own, but should also be a destination for anybody who is in the market for one.
