Ah, I see I even had that wrong . . . I thought the Nonsuch 26' had a cored hull . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maria Jorge" <mcjorge@bellsouth.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 7:45 AM Subject: good move Congratulations on the NS 26, you have made an excellent choice. I did alot of research before I bought my "big cruising boat" and decided on a Nonsuch 30. Can't say enough good things about the design and build quality, the only negative being that in the end I couldn't afford the maintenance. I think the NS26 is the only Nonsuch with a solid, non-cored hull. There is a very active Nonsuch mailing list that you should join. They were a wonderful resource when I owned my boat. I am very happy with my M17 but if I ever get the big boat cruising bug, an NS26 is on my short list. Maria
