Additional General Information
The great success of this design centres on the innovative combination of rig and hull form. The large efficient mainsail set on an un-stayed mast with wishbone boom is combined with a beamy, yet balanced hull with fin keel and spade rudder. The result is a stable, fast, spacious yacht-simple to handle in all conditions.
An amazing Owners Association has developed over the years and it has grown into one of the largest and most active class associations anywhere. The International Nonsuch Association (INA) boasts a membership approaching the number of boats sailing today. Remember over 1,000 Nonsuchs of various sizes have been made. Jn addition to publishing newsletters and rosters the INA hosts spectacular World Championships that are held every other year in either New England or Canada and attract nearly 100 vessels in every competitive class racing from port to port cruising. Local regattas, clam bakes and winter seminars are common to this enthusiastic and well run association.
