OVERVIEW
The Mark Ellis designed Nonsuch 30 was a breakthrough design in the late 1970's, combining classic catboat lines with modern seakindly performance and quality construction. With their enduring value, the Nonsuch designs have stood the test of time and are particularly appreciated by their owners for their renowned ease of handling when sailing shorthanded; as well as for their comfortable accommodations below deck and luxuriously expansive cockpit space. With her striking dark green hull and beautifully varnished interior joinery, anam cara is a splendid example of this famous design. Her owners have maintained her diligently; including prudent annual maintenance to her engine, sail and other systems.

Nonsuch 30s of this vintage normally sell from the ‘mid-$30s’ into the ‘$40s.’ (See data below.) However, like many older (and younger!) boats, almost certainly including some of the lower priced Nonsuch 30s in the data table, anam cara has ‘less than perfect decks’ -i.e.; some moisture related delamination. The consensus of several surveyors and fiberglass technicians suggests repairs could be effected in the $7-15,000 range, depending mostly on the ‘temperament’ of the new owner.

While tempted to effect these repairs prior to sale, the owners have decided to offer anam cara at the drastically reduced price of $24,900 to encourage a quick sale; and to allow the new owner to address any repair questions according to her or his own standards and priorities. This offering represents an unusual opportunity for a sailor with a limited budget to own a sound, turnkey yacht of finer quality and appointments than could otherwise be purchased in this price range. While the price allowance should more than compensate for the repair issues, anam cara might be an especially ‘sharp investment opportunity’ for a ‘handy yachtsman’ who, using his own skills and labor, might spend less than $1,000 on materials to complete the job.
