NINE LIVES | 1983 Nonsuch 26 Classic

Longueuil, QC, CA

About

The Mark Ellis designed Nonsuch 26 has been very popular since its introduction 1982. All boats of this type were constructed by the highly respected Hinterhoeller Yachts Ltd located in St. Catharines, Ontario. They offer a spacious interior which is not surprising given their beam of 10 feet and 6 inches. The boat sleeps 4 adults very comfortably and it is officially designed for 6 persons. Standing room is well above 6 feet throughout the cabin. The NS 26 is a remarkably stable boat. It is very easy to sail, even singlehanded under rough weather conditions. All NS 26s have 7 opening ports with 3 in the salon, 1 in the galley, 1 in the head, and 1 in each of the two quarterberths. Even by themselves they would allow for very good aeration and yet they are accompanied by a skylight of tinted Plexiglas.

Currently, her home port is in Longueuil, Quebec and she has always been sailed in fresh water. She has a fin keel with a draft of 4 feet and 6 inches. She has 2 batteries, the preferred 21 hp Westerbeke diesel engine and is equipped with a full cockpit enclosure and custom swim platform. She has been continually upgraded and primarily used for local cruising.

Testimonials

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.

It was a wonderful experience selling A with Jeff Cole’s expert assistance. Thank you for simplifying a complicated process. Your patience and kindness are especially appreciated.
