1984 Hinterhoeller Nonsuch 26′

Nessie

This very unique well-maintained sailing boat can be operated with ease. The accommodations are like much bigger boats providing comfort and style.. Forward the settee converts from an open dining area to a completely enclosed wall to wall queen berth. Aft there are two quarter berths. The galley features a full stove and hot and cold water. The head, complete with shower, is to starboard.

Nessie has spent most of her life in freshwater before moving to the Pacific Northwest. Over the past few years she has had extensive maintenance/upgrades including:

• Propeller replaced with Campbell Sailor 3 blade. Shaft & one mount replaced. Two blade propeller kept as spare. Very little prop walk and improved motoring speed.
• VHF and external speaker upgraded, electrical panel replaced, battery switch and wiring replaced, and additional battery added (210 amp*hours @ 12v). Electric bilge and house heaters added (120v).
• Mast and wishbone hardware updated as recommended by Mike Quill Rigging (former rigger with builder). All running rigging replaced within last 2 years.
• Hull faired and recoated with Interlux Micron CSC and new anodes Spring 2021.
• Anchor upgraded to a Rocna 15 Kg.

Nessie’s free-standing mast will flex simplifying sail-handling for single/short-handed sailing. She has 2 reefs with all lines led aft. Her autopilot is also a great asset.

Currently Nessie is lying at Stones Marina in Nanaimo in an assumable 26’ single loaded slip (fingers on both sides). The marina is within walking distance of the Departure Bay ferry. Insurance survey completed in January 2021 available.
