The Nonsuch 40 is a development of the Nonsuch 30, which was the first design in the Nonsuch series of sailboats.[1]
The design was built by Sen Koh Shipbuilding in Taiwan, with the boats completed and fitted-out by Wiggers Custom Yachts in Canada. A total of 5 examples of the design were completed before production ended. The design was marketed as the Journeyman 40 in the United Kingdom and as the Sequioa 40 in Canada.[1][3]
The Nonsuch 40 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 26,896 lb (12,200 kg).[1]
The boat has a draft of 6.56 ft (2.00 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The design has a hull speed of 8.48 kn (15.70 km/h).[4]
