The Nomad has an unusual feature in two lateral ballasted bilgeboards 

 which are streamlined for minimum resistance. According to the builders, 

 she has a positive righting moment even if she gets a knockdown with the 

 boards up. A self-bailing cockpit and foam flotation help to make her a safe 

 boat. In the cabin there is full sitting headroom, and a hatch near the galley 

 is an added asset to the cook. Two 6'6" berths are located forward with a 

 toilet in the center underneath them. There are also two quarter-berths 

 amidships, a galley, and other accommodations. While roomy for her size, 

 according to reports from owners she handles and sails well.
