Nonsuch 22
The Nonsuch 22 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat, the smallest of the series of Nonsuch sailboats. It was designed by Mark Ellis Design and first built in 1984.
The design is a scaled-down development of the original, larger Nonsuch 30.
The design was built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada starting in 1984. It went out of production in about 1990. A total of 58 examples were built before production ended.
The Nonsuch 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a catboat rig, an unstayed mast, with a wishbone boom, a plumb stem, a square transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) and carries 1,800 lb (816 kg) of ballast.
The wishbone boom fulfills the role of a traditional boom and vang, as the angled wishbone cane be tensioned downwards to maintain sail shape when sailing downwind. The wishbone boom also provides additional head clearance for the crew.
The boat has a draft of 3.67 ft (1.12 m) with the standard keel fitted.
The boat is fitted with an 8 hp (6 kW) Westerbeke diesel engine or a 10 hp (7 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 23 U.S. gallons (87 L; 19 imp gal).
The design has a large cabin for a 22-foot boat, including an enclosed head and a small galley. During production the boat went through a re-design to correct deficiencies that had resulted from scaling the 22 down from the original 30-foot design. In giving it stand-up headroom, the original 22 was too tall for its beam and the headroom and overall coach house height was reduced in later versions produced.
