The Biggest Pros and Cons

Pros
Easy Single-Handed Sailing: The unstayed cat rig with a wishbone boom simplifies sail handling, making it ideal for solo sailors or small crews.
Spacious Interior: Despite its 22-foot length, the Nonsuch 22 offers a surprisingly roomy cabin with comfortable accommodations.
Stable and Comfortable: The full keel design provides excellent stability and a smooth ride, even in choppy waters.
Low Maintenance Rigging: The lack of shrouds and stays reduces maintenance and potential points of failure.
Good for Shallow Waters: Moderate draft allows access to shallower areas compared to deeper-keeled boats.
Cons
Limited Upwind Performance: The cat rig and wide beam can result in less efficient upwind sailing compared to sloop-rigged boats.
Slower Speed: The design prioritizes comfort and ease of use over speed, so it may be slower in light winds or racing scenarios.
Less Common Rig: The unique rigging means fewer spare parts and less familiarity among general sailing communities.
Interior Headroom: While spacious for its size, taller sailors might find the cabin headroom somewhat limited.
Storage Space: The interior storage can be tight, requiring careful organization for extended cruising.
