Hi Michael, perhaps this is a long shot, but there was a recent post of a Nonsuch on fire in Norwalk CT. ([Nonsuch on fire - Norwalk, CT](https://nonsuch.discourse.group/t/nonsuch-on-fire-norwalk-ct/10408)). I don’t know what size of Nonsuch it was, 30 or 33, but perhaps if you could track it down and find the owner, the stern rail could be salvaged for your boat.  
Good luck.
