Description

This 1989 Nonsuch Ultra 30 is a smart option for anyone who wants to cruise without the hassle of complicated rigging. Designed by Mark Ellis and built by Hinterhoeller Yachts, the Ultra model adds some practical upgrades over the standard 30, a longer cockpit, better galley layout, and more thoughtful storage throughout. It's a solid coastal cruiser with one of the biggest interiors you'll find on a 30-foot boat. 

The boat is powered by a Universal M-35 diesel engine (30 HP), which runs strong and has been well maintained. (Only 609 engine hours!) It's more than enough to push the boat comfortably when the wind dies. 

The real highlight of this boat is the sail plan a single sail, unstayed mast, and wishbone boom. It's simple, efficient, and makes single-handing or short-handed sailing a breeze. No headsail to worry about, no complicated rig tune, and reefing is fast and straightforward. 

Down below, it feels more like a 35-footer. The salon is open with plenty of headroom, the V-berth is spacious and private, and the U-shaped galley is fully functional with room to move. There's a good-sized head with a separate shower area, plus tons of built-in storage. 

The Nonsuch Ultra 30 is a great match for someone looking for a solid, well-designed coastal cruiser that's easy to sail and has more interior volume than most boats in its class.
