Design

edit

The Nonsuch 36 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a cat rig, an unstayed mast with a wishbone boom, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 17,000 lb (7,711 kg) and carries 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel and 4.42 ft (1.35 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine of 52 hp (39 kW). The fuel tank holds 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 152 U.S. gallons (580 L; 127 imp gal).[1][3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 156 and a hull speed of 7.78 kn (14.41 km/h).[3][5]
