The Nonsuch 26, produced by Hinterhoeller Yachts, represents a radical departure from traditional yacht design that redefined the expectations for a 26-foot cruising vessel. Conceived by Gordon Fisher and designed by the prolific Mark Ellis, the 26 was the second model in the Nonsuch line, following the massive success of the Nonsuch 30. Launched in the early 1980s, the boat married the traditional "catboat" aesthetic—characterized by a beam roughly equal to half the waterline length and a single, forward-mounted mast—with modern underwater geometry and Hinterhoeller’s legendary build quality. The result is a vessel that offers the interior volume of a typical 32-footer and a simplified sailing experience that remains a benchmark for short-handed coastal cruising.
