1987 Nonsuch Nonsuch 22

This 1987 Nonsuch 22 is a trailerable sailing yacht designed for accessible, comfortable cruising. Built on a fiberglass hull with a beam of 8.42 feet, the boat combines manageable size with a notably spacious interior. The catboat rig keeps sailing straightforward and responsive, making single-handed operation practical without compromising performance. The single Mercury 15 hp gasoline engine provides auxiliary power, with cruising speeds around 4.5 knots.

Below deck, the layout centers on one cabin with a full head and generous headroom of six feet throughout. The design prioritizes comfort and livability for a boat in this class, offering a functional galley and sleeping arrangements suitable for extended cruising or weekend getaways. The settee provides additional seating and sleeping flexibility.

Recent updates to the boat include a new bottom job and mainsail in 2024. In 2026, the following replacements and upgrades were completed: stern light, running and steaming lights, upholstery and cushions, porta head, settee with new hatch boards, choker and reefing blocks, and topping lift books. These refinements refresh the interior and update key systems and safety equipment.
