Seller's Description
Beautiful Hinterholler Nonsuch 26 Classic sailboat is for sale. She’s a 1982-manufactured boat with fantastic teak work inside. Unlike the larger Nonsuch boats, the Nonsuch 26 is fully fiberglass, not made of cored hull.
“Inner Peace,” the name of the Nonsuch 26 Classic, comes with a 27 HP Westerbeke engine that was rebuilt in 2004. Since then, the engine has clocked less than 600 hours and is in great shape. The boat is winterized every year and is currently at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City, New Jersey, right across from New York City. I’ve been sailing the boat regularly this entire season, but I’m moving to a slightly bigger Nonsuch, and hence, I’ve put this boat up for sale.
Recent teak work, a new electric head installation, bottom painting, and a few other upgrades worth $19,000 were made last year. The sail has a few patches but may last for another season. The dodger is in good shape, but the Bimini may need some stitching. However, the boat comes fully equipped, including a 2-foot swim platform, ladder, and a brand new bow pulpit which I bought for $1,500 from Clacko Marine and is still uninstalled and available with the boat. The boat is paid for winter storage at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City.
I replaced the rudder with another Nonsuch 26 rudder recently, and there is no other damage to the hull or keel. The cushions are in great shape from the previous owner, and the boat has autopilot and radar although I didn’t use them last season. She sails great, despite the large wakes and boat traffic in the New York City area.
The boat is winterized but still on the water at Liberty Landing Marina. I’m happy to show the boat over the weekends by appointment.
Equipment: The boat comes equipped with autopilot, radar, and an electric head. It features a 27 HP Westerbeke engine, which was refurbished in 2004 and has clocked under 600 hours. The boat is professionally winterized every season, and the cushions are in great shape. It has both a manual and an automatic bilge pump, along with two house batteries. Please note that the boat does not have shore power.

Calculations

Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
- ?
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
- ?
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
- ?
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
- ?
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
