    This is a smaller version of the Nonsuch 30, the boat which started this line of catboat inspired designs. Except that it's a little smaller, everything that can be said about the Nonsuch 30 applies to this boats as well. This includes the fact that the Nonsuch 26 is much easier to sail short-handed than the average sailboat, and that it probably has as much interior room as many 30 footers . This last point should be kept in mind when comparing the price of Nonsuch 26s with other boats on the used market.
