Nonsuch 30 Whiskers II solo sail 2018

A video of my Nonsuch 30 "Whiskers II" . Took her for a solo sail on the Patuxent river and decided to make a video for the heck of it. Could've done a better job, but ......... Enjoy!

Thanks for doing this Butch. I just bought my first sailboat, a Nonsuch 22 (#55). I have her in Maple Bay on Vancouver Island, Canada. I appreciate the tour of Whiskers II.

Very nice. I know those waters. Sailed my catamaran there for a year. Now thinking about a Nonsuch.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think you’re sailboat is a fantastic design.

Thank you very much. I still have and enjoy Whiskers II. Happy Holidays!

I too, like the idea of these boats, very rare in the UK and have yet to get on one.......

[@romansivers]

Very helpful video! Thank you very much. (We are considering Nonsuch 30C, so your video is helpful).

[@butchgarren3788]

They are great boats. Also look at the Nonsuch 30U. Same boat except that the interior is laid out differently.

Beautiful Boat, enjoyed the tour,, love those nonsuch, seems much easier to sail than my 33 with a standard rig. I may consider one of these someday myself, great layout too.

[@butchgarren3788]

Thanks for your comments Rick. These boats love wind. I don't know if I mentioned it in the video, but once leaving slip or mooring there is no need to leave cockpit. I can reef the boat in about 25 seconds while sailing. Cheers! Butch

Great woodworking Mr. Garren, love the Heron. Very interested in this boat. I like the ultra layout, but both models appear comfortable below. There is a classic in my area on lake superior. Sngl handing is of interest. Thanks for the video!

[@butchgarren3788]

I think I lost my original reply. Thanks for your comments. Please call me Butch. Since this video I built a new cabin sole, completely different than the original. Added cockpit carpeting. Added more woodwork pieces with more to come. Both versions (Classic/Ultra) are great. If all was right I would have bought either in a heartbeat. If all was equal I would pick a classic. If you want some additional pics I can be e-mailed at [e-mail]. Cheers

Hi Butch, Can you give me an idea of what a boat such as yours, would cost me to buy. I've never been able to find a boat price listing.

[@johnjohnson8531]

Great video I’m thinking very strongly of purchasing a non-such I might take you up on going sailing thank you

[@butchgarren3788]

John, are you from the Solomons area?

[@johnjohnson8531]

No, but that sounds good. We live on Kentucky lake very large lake and from here we could motor/sail anywhere, thanks Butch. We used to live in the Chicago area and had a 27 foot Catalina and sailed a lot on Lake Michigan and looking forward to doing it again.

[@butchgarren3788]

Thanks John, Just let me know when. What part of the country are you in?

[@johnjohnson8531]

Butch Garren Good morning Butch I’m in Kentucky Kentucky Lake just a few miles from Kentucky Dam Marina very much interested in Nonesuch. II owned a28 foot Catalina downtown Chicago and seen
my first Nonsuch.I feel that the boats ideal for single-handed sailing. If you ever decide to go south again try Kentucky Lake Tombigbee canal.
