COMPLETELY RESTORED

Aria is a unique Nonsuch 26 Ultra, built in 1986 she has hull number 215. We had her completely restored in 2018 by wood boat shipwrights Cunningham Ships Carpentry in Port Townsend, Washington, under the direction of company founder Bob Cunningham.  No part of the boat was left untouched and in the course of the project, she was brought into a pristine state. The original cabin design was preserved. We brought her with us when we moved from Washington State to Connecticut in 2021.
