We’re pleased to announce release of a new pamphlet just posted on the International Nonsuch Association website at [www.Nonsuch.org](http://www.Nonsuch.org). It’s a short collection of advice for those interested in buying a Nonsuch entitled, “[Things to Know When Looking to Buy a Nonsuch](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hs7321heyPJtfKpC5ldaH0QeZMYh-NcA/view?usp=sharing).”

Topics covered include:

_1. Deciding if this is the right boat for you_  
_2. What are the differences between the sizes and the models?_  
_3. What to expect in terms of condition_  
_4. Where to look for boats for sale_  
_5. Factors if considering offshore sailing_  
_6. General advice on buying any boat of this vintage_  
_7. What’s involved in getting one delivered_  
_8. Key things to get from your seller when you take possession of the boat_

_9. Other important things to do after taking possession of your boat_

It can be found by clicking on the INA INFORMATION tab and selecting ADVICE FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS, as shown below:

We hope those of you considering buying a Nonsuch will find it useful, and that those of you who know people interested in buying one will share it with them.

The INA would like to express appreciation to the many contributors to this document: Butch Garren, Mark Hinneman, Phil LeVine, Jorgen Moller, Thor Powell, Mark Powers, Paul Miller, Ron Schryver, Ed Strazzini, and Joe Valinoti.

Also in the works and coming soon: a much longer companion offering, titled “Quick Guide for New Nonsuch Owners.” We expect that one to appear on the INA members-only side of the website later this month or early in December.

This is fabulous. It’ll be really helpful and we all owe a big “Thanks” to those of you who worked to compile all of this info.
