The Nonsuch 324 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Mark Ellis Design and first built in 1994. It was the last of the series of Nonsuch sailboats built.[1] [2]

The Nonsuch 324 is a development of the Nonsuch 30, with the same hull design, but a taller rig, more sail area, a carbon fibre wishbone boom and a shallow-draft wing keel.[1][3]

Production

[edit]

The design was built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, but only a small number were completed before production ended.[1][4]

Design

[edit]

The Nonsuch 324 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a cat rig, an unstayed mast with a carbon fibre wishbone boom, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 11,500 lb (5,216 kg) and carries 4,240 lb (1,923 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the standard wing keel.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW). The fuel tank holds 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 105 U.S. gallons (400 L; 87 imp gal).[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 175 and a hull speed of 7.18 kn (13.30 km/h).[5]
