About
You will be hard-pressed to find a better-maintained, two-owner freshwater-only Nonsuch 30 Ultra than DUCK SOUP. She has always had the utmost in care, upgrades and improvements and her owner's attention to detail is exceptionally evident when you are invited on board.
Recent upgrades include Stainless Outfitters swim platform and davits, new Raymarine depthmeter, 5 new marine deep cycle batteries, improved stateroom LED lighting with USB ports, new topping lift hardware, new anchor chain/poly combination rode with 50' chain, and new winter cover aluminum frame. 350W of solar panel power provides full electrical self-sufficiency at anchor - no to need to run the engine ever.
The Ultra model added a unique dimension to the Nonsuch line and modern day sailing by adding the comfort of a more traditional interior, while still maintaining the competitive sailing advantages specific to the Cat-rigged design. The long waterline permits higher pointing ability than one sail would normally allow, while allowing the convenience of tacking by a turn of the wheel giving the racer in you an advantage. The fin keel and spade rudder also does away with the windward helm characteristic of some Cape Cod catboats.
With a free standing mast situated at the bow, the interior volume of a Nonsuch is 20% to 30% larger when compared to other 30 ft. sailboats. DUCK SOUP has been updated, upgraded, and meticulously maintained since she was first splashed in 1987.
She will sleep 5 and features a separate forward stateroom with a full sized double bunk to port. A full length hanging locker, vanity and ample storage area, including drawers and shelves, are incorporated in this stateroom. The head is forward and to Starboard, and has a separate shower stall in the head with a seat. The galley is located on the portside approximately amidships and is L-shaped. The main salon sleeps three; two on a convertible dining table, and one on the port settee. The richness of the interior is accented with a teak and holly sole, yet remains airy with a total of 7 opening ports and three overhead hatches that are all equipped with screens. For the numerous upgrades and additions, please consult the detailed listing.
This Nonsuch 30 Ultra is ideal for cruising into the waters of Georgian Bay, the North Channel, 1000 Islands or even the Florida Keys. If you are in the market for a well-kept 30 Ultra, then you simply must consider a long and hard look at DUCK SOUP. She is certain not to disappoint you.
