Not true at all Neal, the Nonsuch may not be the fastest upwind, but it does quite well
off the wind - in fact its a rather fast boat for a 30 foot cruiser. Its PHRF is equal to
other 30's. such as a C&C, Hunter, Catalina, Beneteau. Since it doesn't do that well
upwind, it makes up for it downwind.

Even upwind, since its so easy to tack, there's no need to use an engine to work out of a
harbor. Truth be know, I use the engines more on the cat because its so tedious trying to
sail upwind out of Boston Harbor.

Actually, it is quite rare for a Nonsuch to sail under main
alone. They are such slow, wallowing pigs that they
must usually sail with both main and iron jenny.

I'd have to side with Booby on this - I often sailed my Nonsuch on main alone.

Um.... Is there any other way?
