This book, and what I have heard about Nonsuches in -> general, would lead me to believe that a Nonsuch is a fine boat to go -> south in. Well built and roomy. What more do you want from a boat? Hi Robert. Thanks for the vote of confidence. In response to your question, "What more....?", my questions have to do with the following: a) Has electrolysis been an issue for any Nonsuchers? b) How comfortable have people felt having minimal sail combinations (that's an understatement) to work with? c) How have the boats stood up in a salt water environment? etc., etc., etc. Robert, I'm curious, where are you and what do you sail? I'm always interested in meeting fellow "rag-baggers".

You seem to question my TF> wisdom re: sailing a Nonsuch south. Please explain. Not at all. In fact it's probably a great boat for doing so. Tony's boat had great accomodations and it sailed well. When we raced against him, we usually had the upper hand in light to medium, but we sailed more evenly in the heavier stuff.
