Wallace Yacht Company specializes in yachts of value, substance and character. Take a look at all of the listings and you will find that each boat is very desirable and unique in each category of yacht,.....
I seek the best in each category I represent. There are several heirloom quality offerings which show that the best is available in a broad range of prices, putting safe and beautiful cruising, racing and collectible yachts within financial reach of those of us who appreciate them and aspire to own, cruise, race and live on what are some of the finest yachts in the world.
I have been in the bilges of every boat you see here. I have tapped on each hull, dug at each wooden yachts' ribs, and sailed or operated most of them underway.
I will not select a yacht to represent based on convenience or accessories. Accessories can be had at wholesale prices and convenience can be overcome with shipping and delivery. The best is the best and it is where it is. The Wallace Yacht Company has active listings on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, in both the USA, Vancouver Island, the San Juan Islands, as well as in Mexico.
About 30% of my business is not advertised. Look at the photographs......you will see features which set these yachts apart....Pictures and information that you need to see to make the purchase decision, or at least decide whether the boat is worth the plane ticket and time to see it.
My name is Walter Wallace and I want to personally thank you for visiting my business.
Whether your acquisition is next week or next year, you will find that you will set the pace of your yacht purchase. The earlier in the process we can develop a dialog, the better. You will be able to familiarize yourself with more options and be better equipped to acquire the boat which more precisely meets your needs and budget. For some, it is an immediate need, for others, the decision will take 2 years. Your inquiries are welcome, regardless of your desired time of purchase.
The negotiation process can be a very trying experience. I work very hard to keep the process as short and painless as possible. I handle this part of your acquisition in a professional manner with swiftness and discretion. We have financing avenues available for modern composites, fiberglass, steel and wood hulls.
You will find creative solutions to your needs, such as exploring transactions involving trades, etc. We will make every effort to ensure that your experience is unique and memorable.
Insurance and financing are available at the SAME rates and terms for wood and fiberglass. Basic financing terms are normally 20 or 30 percent down, over a term of 20 years. Additionally, the mortgages on vessels often fall under the same tax criteria as a primary or secondary home, with the interest being deductible.
I recently sold 2 very different vessels of my own to purchase my current yacht. One was a modern fiberglass motorsailer, and the other a 1926 restored 65 foot tug boat. Interestingly, insurance costs for full coverage were cheaper per thousand insured on the restored wooden vessel than it was on the modern motorsailer; and maintenance costs were equal.
Maintenance money was spent in different ways, but ended up being the same. I am not suggesting that everyone own a wooden vessel, I am just suggesting that should a high quality vessel be of interest to you, that you may be pleasantly surprised with the ownership experience of either material.
The Tourist Delivery page answers the "how do I get her home?" question.
I live aboard my 100 year old wooden vessel, and have owned both fiberglass and wooden boats. Living aboard provides me with an opportunity to help with my clients’ awareness as far as systems that provide service reliably and simply.
Living aboard does not equate to “camping out”, unless you want it to. Make your list of what you have to have (a few of mine were a 30 minute HOT shower, galleys I could enjoy a passion for cooking in, a well ventilated dry and very warm living space, and other desires and requirements), and let’s see if I can make some recommendations. We can hopefully come up with the perfect vessel that fulfills your dreams.
I also acquire and restore my own yachts. In consideration for this passion, you will also find yachts of unique interest and potential value. Some are collectible, and some are projects worthy of time and money well spent.
Thank you for considering Wallace Yacht Company for your next home afloat.....

26' Nonsuch ULTRA 260
1995
US$ 61,250
**number 8 of limited production run of 10 "Ultras" with Carbon Fiber Mast and Wishbone** Other smaller differences exist in the Ultra models, but the Carbon 51' mast is the centerpice of the top model of the Nonsuch 260.
This particular Nonsuch is a rare offering indeed for a few reasons. Compare her with new vessels on the market. Not a nick in her hull, no spider web cracks eminate from her deck fitments, she has been fitted with new top of the line electronics(Garmin 4208 with radar, Raymarine and Autohelm instruments and autopilot), a NEW Yanmar 3 cylinder motor, absolutely like-new canvas, a new stove, new LED lighting throughout, and the list goes on. This is NOT a refurbished boat, she has simply been continually spoiled, pampered and upgraded with the finest equipment available. In this listing you will find close up shots of her spotless and scratch free interior, as well as shots of items rarely found on smaller vessels such as welded double rail safety rails and life lines, custom cockpit cushions, line bags, self tailing winches, Harken Blocks, chafe-free runnning rigging, full safety gear (inclluding life sling, horseshoe, robust swim ladder, etc. This is one boat that you can get back in to, should an overboard situation occur.
Her heavy construction makes her a great candidate for longer voyages, and her light weight and rig make her equally at home in more sporting modes as Nonsuch events attest.
Easy and safe to use are hallmark features of these vessels. Her main goes up her friction free track with ease, you reef and trim from her cockpit, and at the end of your sail, the foil drops in to her wishbone boom--neslting in a basket. These boats are fully capable of long trips, or a short mid week evening sail.
Her interior is clean and proper with a very open, bright and well ventilated atmosphere. Her teak trim is generous on the inside, with stainless rails and trim outside for ease of maintenance, yet she retains a wonderfully warm and traditional feel inside.
Note the drawing of her hull. With a shoal draft, fin keel and a large spade rudder, she handles both light and heavy air with gusto. If you are looking for the absolute BEST on the market in this class, you have found her. She is bristol, and designed for single handling, and also is up for a weekend with guests and family. Rest assured that this Nonsuch Ultra 260 will deliver an exceptional survey. I did not notice one rusty hose clamp, crack of any kind in anything, or improper installation of any of her extensive inventory.
Please take some time and look at the details illustrated in the acompanying photo layout, which raffirm the uncommon quality of this Nonsuch offering.
