Like everyone else, I've many pictures of others' boats, but so few of mine. Friends have posted some photos online. Boat home ports on the south shore of Staten Island. I'm a member of Richmond County YC and moor my 324 on the east edge of the harbor. Usually day sail on Raritan Bay and on Upper and Lower parts of New York Harbor.

324 109 was reviewed in the May 1995 SAIL magazine. The boat was being brokered by Annapolis Yacht Sales at the time. SAIL gave it a sterling review, and there are some fairly nice photos of the 109 boat included in the article. Unfortunately, Nonsuch went out of business just weeks after the review hit the news stands. Fortunately, those of us still saddled with mortgage payments were able to finally own a new Nonsuch as the prices dropped dramatically. Since these boats weren't brokered by consignment, the dealers had to sell them to recoup their sizeable acquistion costs . . . without a way to perform on the basic manufacturer's warranty.

Worked out great for me. I got the dealer in Annapolis MD and one in Oriental NC in what best could be termed a "bidding war" and ended up with 324 107. Here's to many more years of summer breezes aboard what I think is one of the nicest boats afloat.
