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]

Production

The design was built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, but only a small number were completed before production ended.[1][3]

Design

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).[4]

gollark: For example:- the average person probably does *some* sort of illegal/shameful/bad/whatever stuff, and if some organization has information on that it can use it against people it wants to discredit (basically, information leads to power, so information asymmetry leads to power asymmetry). This can happen if you decide to be an activist or something much later, even- having lots of data on you means you can be manipulated more easily (see, partly, targeted advertising, except that actually seems to mostly be poorly targeted)- having a government be more effective at detecting minor crimes (which reduced privacy could allow for) might *not* actually be a good thing, as some crimes (drug use, I guess?) are kind of stupid and at least somewhat tolerable because they *can't* be entirely enforced practically
gollark: No, it probably isn't your fault, it must have been dropped from my brain stack while I was writing the rest.
gollark: ... I forgot one of them, hold on while I try and reremember it.
gollark: That's probably one of them. I'm writing.
gollark: > If you oppose compromises to privacy on the grounds that you could do something that is misidentified as a crime, being more transparent does helpI mean, sure. But I worry about lacking privacy for reasons other than "maybe the government will use partial data or something and accidentally think I'm doing crimes".
