1984 Nonsuch 36Sold

Step aboard and you immediately notice the wide, open layout that Nonsuch owners rave about. The big beam carries all the way forward, so you get a surprisingly generous salon and an easy-to-use, walkaround berth instead of the usual cramped V-berth. The cat rig means no wrestling with overlapping headsails; you can be underway in minutes and reef in a heartbeat when the breeze pipes up. Visibility from the cockpit is excellent, and the simple deck plan keeps lines tidy and movement safe. Below, the generous headroom and smart stowage make longer stays aboard feel relaxed rather than compromised.

This Nonsuch 36 is particularly well-suited to local waters where short-handed sailing and quick getaways are the norm. Its simple, single-sail rig lets you slip out for an evening breeze or a weekend hop without needing a full crew. The beamy hull and ballast give a steady, comfortable motion in the typical chop, and the shallow underbody helps with exploring quieter anchorages. Ample tankage and onboard systems support extended time off the dock, while the roomy cockpit and airy interior make it a welcoming platform for both passagemaking and casual day sailing in this region.
