Hi, I've got an F25 and a friend has a Nonsuch 26. My friend sold his Nonsuch 30 to get out of boating but ended up buying a 26. I went for a sail with him a few weeks ago in @10-17 and was impressed with how fast the Nonsuch was (seemed faster than my boat). The Nonsuch is very substantial and has ...

I just got my boat in November but when I first saw it in the water the scum line is going to be just where the bottom paint will end (everywhere except the stern). I like to have a couple of inches of bottom paint not submerged as a buffer. My stern is as you described (about a half inch out of the...

That's a good point Yarrow. Mine is stearn heavy too and it seems to me you could have the same shape rudder but save thirty pounds with a bit more modern constuction techniques....
