1987 Nonsuch 30 Ultra

Electric Propulsion • Stern Thruster • Custom Hardtop • Legendary Cat Rig

Kahuna is a highly distinctive cruising sailboat that blends the beloved Nonsuch 30 Ultra platform with a modern Quiet Torque 10kW electric propulsion system, 48V 415Ah AGM battery bank, stern thruster, electric winches, solar charging and regenerative capability under sail.

Her signature unstayed mast and wishbone boom make sailing remarkably simple, while the custom fiberglass cockpit hardtop adds real-world comfort for Florida cruising by creating a shaded and protected outdoor living space.

Below, the wide-beam Nonsuch layout provides a surprisingly spacious interior with a forward double berth, enclosed head with separate shower area, main salon seating, dedicated navigation space, and a practical galley for weekend or extended use.

A Rare and Innovative Florida Cruiser

Kahuna stands apart from the typical production cruiser by focusing on comfort, simplicity and low-stress operation. The Nonsuch concept is already known for easy sailing and extraordinary interior volume, and this example takes that philosophy further through a thoughtfully executed electric-propulsion conversion.

With her custom hardtop, open cockpit, wide side decks, modern charging options and minimal sail-handling complexity, she offers a uniquely approachable package for sailors who value relaxation, innovation and ease of ownership.
