    Beautiful boat, inspiring idea. I hope I can own one before I die.

      Thanks. I hope so too and hope you'll own it for a long time yet...

    Thank you very much. Unfortunately, my Nonsuch is now for sale as I'm moving on to a trawler. All the best of luck with LeReve and happy sailing!

      i realize it's quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?

      Willard Vega Voyager I’m stuck between this and a Freedom Cat Ketch .. I understand those boats are fast too..

      There was a Freedom in a slip nearby me once and it looked like a really nice boat. I even considered one before I bought the Nonsuch but could not find any for sale in the area. With two, freestanding masts and sails, I would imagine it's a tad more complicated to sail than the Nonsuch with only one. On the other hand, the sails would likely be smaller and easier to manage. I too have heard they are fast boats but have no personal experience. Good luck on making your choice.

    This enclosure is really great. Who designed it?

      @willardvegavoyager4581  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not sure, it was on the boat when I bought it. I believe it was someone in BC Canada though. A lot of thought went into the design of both the enclosure and the sail cover.

    I am sorry to hear about your back problem. I wish you all the best. thank you for your answer. I am considering to buy a Nonsuch, the only thing I am concerned about is the cored hull. Is this a huge problem?

    • @willardvegavoyager4581
      @willardvegavoyager4581  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Nenad Bracun I have not heard of any major problems with the cored hull on a Nonsuch. Yes, cored hulls can be a concern if the builder did not do things right. Hinterhoeller did an excellent job with their Nonsuch boats so it's not a problem at all to my knowledge. On the positive side, a cored hull is much quieter inside the boat plus the coring acts as insulation keeping the interior cooler in hot climates and warmer in cold. Given a good builder, I'd prefer a cored hull anytime. Hope that helps. There is a Nonsuch user's group that is very active. You could join, even without a boat, and get lots of great information on all things Nonsuch. I did that and actually found my boat through the members there.

    what was wrong with the Nonsuch? Have you experienced any problems with it? or living on it?

    • @willardvegavoyager4581
      @willardvegavoyager4581  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Nenad Bracun Absolutely nothing wrong with the Nonsuch. No problems and it was a very comfortable boat to live on. I only sold it and moved to a trawler because of my age and a nagging back problem. I was finding it difficult to handle sails and ended up motoring more than sailing. So, I figured, why not just go power? I truly miss sailing and especially the Nonsuch. Thanks for you inquiry.

    Is your Nonsuch still available. Where are you located in the northwest.

      Thank you. Sorry Catspaw sold very quickly, not surprisingly. She is still in the area but I believe is moored in the Seattle area. I kept her in Blaine, WA while I had her.
