I
am writing this on August 14 as Debbie and I wait out some unseasonable
fall like weather in the Bateau Channel just west of the 1000 Islands. We
have another 600 miles to sail hopefully home before Labour Day.
The week at the 2014 Rendezvous was the highlight of the sailing season.
It was an elegant event in the Gatsby like setting of the Royal Canadian Yacht
Club. The organizing committee, RCYC members and staff put on a spectacular
event. Their hard work and enthusiasm showed in every event.Recalling the
event’s highlights is always a challenge as there were many. Sunsets across
the Toronto harbour, barbeques in the rose garden and riding those historic
launches. The three that come most easily to mind are the following:
J
A
orgen Moller’s presentation on his electric motor conversion was
fascinating. The developments in hi-tech engines for our venerable sailing
vessels is a sneak peek into what the future holds for all of us.
The progression over the last 5 years has been quite amazing. Look for
Jorgen’s article on this project in an up coming Update.
Thor Powell in his capacity as President
conducting the Sail Past in front of the
Royal Canadian Yacht Club
T
group event that comes to mind was the Nonsuch ‘Sail Past’ RCYC
style. It was quite the sight to see 40 plus Nonsuchs sailing in line
across the harbour and out Toronto Island’s Eastern Gap.
he third highlight for me was Corvus’ presence at the
Rendezvous. This well-known Nonsuch 30C, with a crew
of 2year old Samantha and 9month old Deanna, children of
Corvus’ current owners Joe and Lisa Biro. It was grand to see kids
sailing on Corvus once again; the Andersons, original owners took
3month old Samantha to her first Rendezvous and now the Biro family
are following their example! That same, now grown up, Samantha
was also with us crewing for her mother Wendy on ‘The White Cat’.
I
D
must also mention Mark Ellis, Mrs Gordon Fisher, Maurice
Anderson, Norm Sandham and John Rothwell in attendance at the
Monday evening Tribute Reception and Dinner. Their continued
support and enthusiasm for our wonderful sailboats was on display
for all to see.
Joe, Lisa, Samantha & baby Deanna
the latest Corvus family!
uring the Rendezvous the INA Board held an informal review of Update with Sue Walker, Update’s editor. Sue
and Andy had traveled to Toronto for the event so it was a good opportunity to discuss the changes we face
publishing in this modern era. After much discussion we have come to the decision to publish three editions a
year, one in January concurrent with the member renewal cycle, the second in the spring as the sailing season begins and
the final in the fall to close out our boating season. We believe that having fewer editions with broader content offers a
better and timelier product. Concurrent with this new schedule we re- affirmed our commitment to print media and will
now simultaneously make Update readily available for download in electronic format for those members who so wish.
Hopefully the weather tomorrow will bring easterly winds and an end to the cold rain so we can get off the dock and
sailing west to home.
Debbie and I wish you all a fall sailing season of fair winds

Rendezvous...........
...the news!
Those of us lucky enough to be able to attend the 2014 Rendezvous brilliantly
hosted by the Royal Candian Yacht Club gathered for a thoroughly enjoyable
week of sailing and socialising. The following accounts give a flavour of what
we were treated to and the outcome of the good natured racing and awards
for boats showing off their best features. The usual mix of racing, cruising, and onshore get-togethers is what made this regatta so much fun!
Social perspective........... Cyndie Eedson & Sue Walker
• Sunday evening - Opening Ceremony
Guests gathering under the flagpole for the Opening Reception
The theme was ‘Come home
to RCYC’. This rendezvous was
more than just sailing; it was
the bonding over one common
interest - the Nonsuch sailboat.
On the opening night, after
registration, we all gathered for
a cocktail reception and a ‘break
the ice’ card game under the
flagpole; our picturesque host port
then served a delicious dinner in
the Rose Garden. Bathed in the
evening sunlight attendees enjoyed
sophisticated cuisine and the
socializing began. The camaraderie,
decades for some and days for
others provided attendees with the
perfect balance of fun and sailing
during this week long regatta.
Welcome from the Organising Committee led by Wendy Anderson;
RCYC Commodore and INA President

• Monday - Waterfront Pursuit - A Great Way To Start!
Those with local knowledge definitely had an advantage as we quested to complete a series of questions targeting
things in and around the Toronto Bay. Admittedly we weren’t very good at it but we learned quite a bit as we toured
the harbor and experienced firsthand lessons with a term affectionately referred to by locals as navigating ‘Ferry Land’.
• Nonsuch Tribute Dinner - Mark Ellis
Mrs Lilian
Fisher
Nonsuch designer Mark Ellis
After 30 years of celebrating, this years Tribute
Dinner was privileged to welcome back Mark
Ellis, the designer of our beloved Nonsuch
boats, to address the guests.
The evening also shone a spotlight on Mrs.
Alison Fisher, wife of Gordon, whose dream
became a reality when the Nonsuch was born.
Other special guests
included the three
generations of the
Anderson family who’s
family NS30C ‘Corvus’
is now home to a new
young family the Biros.
The Andersons: Maurice,Wendy
& Samantha
‘Corvus’ kids
Speeches and
accolades over everyone
was then left to
continue enjoying the
excellent meal on the
Racing Front Lawn
and catch up with the
day’s events, once again
in a beautiful evening
sunset.

•Tuesday - Scarborough Bluffs Cruise
It was hot and I mean hot! The wind failed us but motoring was calming and relaxing in our flotilla towards
Scarborough Bluffs. We anchored off-shore and the sight of boats bobbing in the water was fantastic. A BBQ
with rousing beach games and activities (for the more energetic) was a shining example of how much we
enjoyed the social side of the regatta.

• Wednesday - Seminars
Jorgen Moller
or the Wednesday we had organised four seminar sessions. All were well attended, with no shortage
of questions during and after each seminar. We missed the Ed Botterell talk; but Ed, much to his own
disappointment, had business on the West Coast which he could not miss.
• The session was started by Gordon Laco representing Epifanes Yacht Coatings in Canada. As interesting as the
subject is, his biography is impressive - a businessman, historian, film and TV historical consultant with 50
productions under his belt. He talked about the different Epifanes products, where best to
use them, the technique, tools and safety precautions used. After many questions
Gordon volunteered to look at problems on attendants’ boats after the seminar.
• Mike Quill was the next speaker; he’s well known in the Nonsuch community
as the go-to place for parts for Nonsuch spars and rigging. He brought with
him a display of some of his many products, explained their benefits and how
best to install them; with so many questions a time limit, reluctantly, had to be
enforced.
• Jorgen Moller talked about his conversion to electric propulsion of his Nonsuch
26C ‘Pondus’. He talked about what he thought the benefits were, what to
consider and a general discussion of the technology; the talk resulted in many
visits to Pondus from interested ‘Nonsuchers’.
• The last presenter, George Garland, RCYC’s very experienced senior mechanic, gave
Jorgen Moller
a very interactive talk on basic good maintenance of engines, battery and fuel. His
RCYC Dockmaster
first question to us was, “Have you got your motor’s manual and do you read it?” He
gave good advice on service intervals, oil type and fuel filters; remember to change the raw water impeller
every 2years etc. Again many questions ensued and always thoughtfully answered; George’s mantra is: ‘Marine
engines are well built but expensive to replace, so do yourself a favour by doing the proper recommended
maintenance schedules and they will last a long time’. This includes making sure they are frequently run at full
temperature and load.
From the comments received from participants, the sessions were well received.

• Wednesday evening - Micro-Brewery
After a less energetic day enjoying the seminars
we were treated to a really enjoyable visit to the
Mill Street micro-brewery in the Distillery District
which also has other interesting shops and galleries to
browse. It is East Toronto’s first commercial microbrewery to open in more than 100 years; all round
you are the brewery vats which produce more than
12 handcrafted beers and ales. We were treated to
an excellent meal and choice of ales plus a most
interesting tour and talk from the resident brewer and
distiller. They have recently begun to experiment with
distilling some of their beers to produce a schnapps.
Bob Jenkins also entertained us during our meal with
a challenging ‘pub quiz’ which caused some goodhumoured rivallry between the teams; altogether an
excellent evenings entertainment!
• Thursday - Mimico - Let’s Do Lunch!
Steady breezes kept our crew
in high spirits and was perfect
for gently sailing as we cruised
towards Mimico. Another day of
shore side entertainment; this time
a welcoming ‘build-a-sandwich’
lunch, served on the verandah,
gave Nonsuch cruisers another
opportunity to socialise - wow,
what a spread!
A demonstration of a custommade sailcover on Brian Knoll’s boat
‘On Location’, by Evolution was
very interesting showing how a few
adjustments can improve on the original
design. The sail home was lively and,
though not a race, did tempt a touch of
friendly competiton between some boats
as they streamed back towards the island
- another wonderful day!

The Racing Perspective....
R
from John Newall
acing commenced on Monday with the
combined racing and cruising fleets
participating. We were propelled around the
Olympic course by a gentle breeze. It was a good
introduction to racing for those new to racing, new to
sailing Nonsuches and those who dislike ‘tippy’.
T
uesday saw the cruisers take off to the hot sands
of the bluffs under power while we waited
for a breath of wind to commence our starts.
Occasionally a little air skipped over the mirror like
water, but amounted to nothing. Photographers filled
in the time by snapping photos of boats complete with
magnificent reflections on the water. Eventually for
the racing fleet the breeze picked up sufficiently for the
race committee to complete the starts. Unfortunately
the wind wilted soon after the 30s start. The 26s gamely
followed, but the writing was on the wall. By the time
the first of the 30s had reached the windward mark,
the lead 26s were only half way up the windward leg
and started to lose steerage way. Mike Milner, the race
committee chair, let the 26s down gently by warning
that he would abandon the 26 race unless conditions
improved. They did not and he did, putting us out of
our misery. He allowed the 30s to continue as they
were able to ghost downwind to the finish line of the
shortened course. Woodstock, skippered by Allan
Megarry, made the best of what breeze there was to
cross the line first and end the race. The rest were
recorded based on their positions when the race ended
and not required to cross the line. Everybody was happy
to call it quits and hope for better racing weather on
Thursday.
T
hursday was a much better day for racing, but
the race committee had to work hard to keep
up with the major wind shifts and move the
markers to keep the racing fair. They did an excellent
job and kept the course to Olympic standards. It was
good fun and I think everybody enjoyed themselves.
O
n Friday we had the sail past followed by the
long distance race. My crew, Ray Dykstra
who sails Timaru Nui out of Victoria, B.C.
told me that he had been taken out to dinner by a friend
from Chester who had just landed a job in the office
towers of Toronto and was astonished to see the sea of
Nonsuches in the harbour. Ray was able to explain why.
I hope the man had a chance to see the flotilla executing
the sail past led by Derek Fisher on Tasman Rose for the
26’s and Tony Anderson on Elephant for the 30’s. It was
a magnificent sight.
L
ike the first race, the whole fleet participated in
the long distance race. We had a decent breeze
with the course permitting lots of reaching so
it was completed in good time for the festivities to
follow. Some excitement was added from a tug laying
a pipeline on the course blasting its horn at those who
dared to approach too close. It did not help that the
outer buoy marking the end of the pipe was awash and
hardly visible from a few feet away.
T
he return through the Eastern Gap was
challenging and saw the leaders in the 30
fleet changing positions, with Mermaid
overtaking Woodstock to become the winner. Only
seconds separated second and third positions in the
26 fleet. Tiroc came first as she did in 2006 with
Tasman Rose taking second. My wife reported that it
was magical watching the fleet returning through the
harbour to the finish line.
I
was impressed with the civility of our skippers as
there were no protests, no ill-will and no collisions
that I am aware of. The race committee under
Mike Milner did their best to make it a fun week under
trying conditions. In the 2006 Rendezvous at the
RCYC, he had a much easier time. There was a constant
southerly breeze for the whole Rendezvous.
• Friday - Race/Cruise
One’s first race is always the most interesting. We were sailing on a 26U; the skipper was a bit edgy in this his first race
in this boat. The gun sounds and the cruisers, once clearing the start line negotiated a port tack; the wind filled the sail
as we steer the course. Keeping upwind to the fleet, our skipper began to enjoy the chase and closing the gap. Liking the
adrenaline rush, our skipper is now pretty hooked on the concept of a head to head contest and his competitive spirit is
awakened; at least one cruiser converted to the thrill of the chase! Cyndie Eedson
Monday & Friday
saw ‘hard core’ racers
and cruiser/racers
competing in gentle
conditions in the first
race of the event
I
t was a good strategy that the Rendezvous Committee saw fit to
introducing the cruisers to racing on two days. It helps cruisers
realise the potential of their boats. Faster passages and an easier
motion are the rewards. Nonsuches like Olympic Fins and Lasers
are sensitive to minor adjustments that reduce weather helm and
increase speed. When I first sailed Mascouche, I was amazed how
a slight easing of the main sheet when close hauled caused her
to accelerate from four to five knots. If nothing else, getting the
most out of a Nonsuch makes those in other fleets take notice and
probably helps to maintain and even enhance their value. They don’t
make them anymore, unless one is willing to pay $200,000 for a
new 26. and a lot more for a 33.
F
inally, on behalf of all who participated, I would like to
thank our Rendezvous Racing Coordinators Allan Megarry
and Greg Cockburn for organizing a super week.

Some of the smiling faces...
Prepared for the Long Race?........a personal account
David Bailey
Our preparations were extensive; an error of judgment as it turned out.
I just inspected the two metal projectiles securely fixed to the bow pulpit; a third
anchor was lost somewhere in the bowels of my ‘True Love’, a Nonsuch 26C.
• Following the anchor shanks two chains fall through a small hole in the deck;
I know these have made matrimonial overtones and braided themselves into
140ft of something resembling pasta in a strainer. I make a mental note to
straighten this out before one of them drags loose at three in the morning.
Paradoxically Brakey Bay comes to mind; untangling chain in a locker the size
of an autumn pig can generate expletives louder than a cranky Westerbeke!
• The locker in front of the chain locker houses umbrellas, folding chairs,
chart tubes....... the three golf clubs are another story; everything is handy
if you have arms the length of pool noodles. A little beyond that mess, the
hanging locker is stuffed with required attire, rain jackets, dress jackets and
pants. Tacking with 100lb of tools also in this locker does do a first quality
pressing on the bottoms of trouser legs; my eyes directionally separate
when my wife asks if my pant leg bottoms had been chewed by a goat.
• A weighty reference library supports me if I can’t solve a camera issue,
delete the routes on the chart plotter, or when my wife says “look it up in
the damn Ports Book yourself.” Other storage spots resemble the back end of a Thanksgiving
turkey.
• The food lockers have gruel enough to feed every Cormorant on Lake Ontario. The 28 bottles of wine have been laid
to rest in a secret locker next to 6lb of jujubes. We have 50 gallons of fresh water, an almost empty holding tank and
92.5lt of diesel on board.
• On deck we have a little life raft designed to save us if I could only find the air pump. Our boat is well prepared for
cruising, NOT racing.
Hey have you forgotten something? Andy
Arriving at RCYC was uneventful; we were prepared for a
somewhat under-dressed for the Banquet
week of fun and we got that in spades; the RCYC staff were
helpful and attended to our every need. The week at the
Nonsuch Rendezvous included racing, technical seminars,
brewery tour, great meals and a great platform for gam. The
program included racing for racers, and activities for cruisers
and a long distance race for everyone. My regular crew walked
the plank of administrative duties and could not leave the island.
So in a flash of brilliance or without giving it a second thought I
invited two unsuspecting fly-ins from Great Britain to race on
‘True Love’. My new crew speak in chirps but I can understand
them when I eyeball their lips. Both Sue and Andy are great
sailors but Andy seems a bit absent minded at times.
Just seconds before we leave the dock for our long distance
race Andy asked me what the huge piece of rubber was on deck. My jaw extends ever so lightly as Andy’s hugely muscular
arms gives the dingy a heave in the direction of a small kid on a bike onto the berthside. The sound of zippers followed and
before I could say Nonsuch Rendezvous, the Bedouin tent over the cockpit disappeared. Then we were off to the grand sail
past and race, like a herd of plus or minus 48 turtles.
The error in judgment was - I should have off loaded more poundage than just the life raft. Shoulda, coulda, woulda ….
if I had known my crew were such skilled racers. Still, after a really fun chase,True Love managed to come second in the
Racing/Cruising Fleet, close behind Tiroc and just ahead of Puffin.

Wrapping up the week, the Final Awards Dinner
and Dance marked the highlight of the event. A
week together has renewed our friendships and
developed new connections; chatter filled the room
as guests circulated after a delicious meal and the
awards and speeches ended. Members shared their
enthusiasm for a sport and very special boat. There is
nothing more fun than reminiscing about our sailing
adventures and belly laughing at every story. Thanks
for the memories….
Events such as this mark the culmination of months of hard
work on the part of volunteers and committed individuals
and their efforts have paid off.
As a participant I thank you!

Regional Associations
Regional Associations are organized and operated by Nonsuch owners independent of the International Nonsuch Association
(INA). Although INA encourages their formation, it does not control their activities, membership or fees. The INA will, on
request, provide assistance and advice to interested parties to facilitate their organization. INA recognizes that regional associations
contribute to the ongoing strength of the overall Nonsuch organization.
• If you are located in an area which is served by an existing association we encourage you to participate in its activities.
• If the association in your area is currently not as active as you would like, take the initiative by offering the leader of the group
your assistance in organizing an activity for the benefit of all members.
• If there is no association in the area where you reside, take a leadership role in organizing a new regional association. I would be
pleased to provide information and advice regarding organization and operation of regional associations.

Chesapeake Bay Nonsuch Association a Summer ‘Sailstice’ Rendezvous!
The gathering took place from June 20 - June 22 in Solomons Island, Maryland; being located at the midpoint of the
Chesapeake Bay, Solomons made it possible for the Southern Bay and Northern Bay boats to rendezvous. In fact, boats
arrived from as far south as Deltaville, VA and north from the Bush River, MD.
Twelve boats participated: 6 Nonsuch 30’s, 2 Nonsuch 26’s and 4 Nonsuch 22’s; also15 members and 7 guests drove or
arrived by power boat to participate.
Friday night we gathered at the Calvert Marine Museum
Ken Stout from the Solomons Island Model Boat Club (SIMBC) invited early arrivals to sail remote control boats and
Dick Barton(NS 26 #43324) brought and sailed his model Nonsuch to the delight of other members.
Friday night’s dinner was pizza accompanied by homemade salads from the lady committee members. Ed Bahniuk (NS26
#92) was our master of ceremonies and encouraged each captain to introduce his crew and boat.
During dinner, the Dove docked at the Museum nearby; she's one of four tall ships that had come to Solomons Island to
participate in a War of 1812 re-enactment. A major highlight of the evening was a behind-the-scenes tour of the Calvert
Marine Museum by Director Doug Alves that was greatly appreciated by all.
On Saturday morning Al Suydam (NS22 #43) led a skipper/crew meeting and once underway, we paraded under
full sail out of Back Creek onto the Patuxent River led
by a Defever 44 trawler owned by Jack and Gail
Chenevey,who volunteered to photograph us
under sail. We sailed past the Solomons Island
boardwalk and cruised to Horseshoe Cove in
Mill Creek.
Here Ed Charest(NS26#191) directed
us into a sunflower raft-up and his wife
Maria, climbed a mast to photograph our
accomplishment. The view from above
revealed that the distinctive Nonsuch booms
added extra petals to the flower.To add even
more fun to our cruise, Al Sydam created a
scavenger hunt of over 20 items, requiring
photographic documentation. The list included
such items as an osprey with a fish, a naval
aircraft and a picture of your crew waving at a
commercial boat waving back.

Pete Green(NS30 #483) was our master of ceremonies for the evening
activities held at Isaac’s, the Holiday Inn restaurant. He kept us all
entertained and presented some lucky recipients with wine from a
local, private vineyard delivered with much humor.
The rendezvous concluded with participants gathering in
various places to do some socializing. Some had to leave
in the morning for their journey home (a two day
sail for some) but others stayed for the 1812
re-enacted naval battle on Sunday.
Special thanks go to the Holiday Inn, Isaacs
Restaurant and Pub, Solomons Harbor
Marina, Ruddy Duck Restaurant,
Lusby Giant Food, Calvert Marine
Museum, Jack and Gail Chenevey, Ken
Stout, Shawn Garren, Dave Spigler,
Dan Dawson for their contributions and
support.
The Solomons Rendezvous Committee
included Pete and Lynne Greene, Tom and Susan
Jones, Al and Nan Suydam, Ed and Mary Bahniuk and
Butch and Karen Garren.

Last Word......
Well we are safely back from our recent jaunt to Toronto
to join in the Rendezvous event at RCYC.
Life has now taken up the familiar routine and all we have
now are very warm memories of our experience and the
people we met who made us so welcome.
The generous folk who allowed us to sail their boats
were John Grainger on ‘Hope & Glory’ a 33U, John and
Rosemary Oliver on ‘Manx’ a 260 and finally
David and Annette Bailey on
John & Rosemary
‘True Love’ a 26C,
thanks so much.

David & An
Such brilliant fun, racing and cruising with similar boats
- bound to bring out the spirit of combat, even in the least
competitive of us. I think the new class of Cruiser/Racers
certainly gave this some air.
John & Lind It has been quite a task to put together this
a issue, confronted with the various accounts to
pull together and the masses of photographs
to trawl through. I hope I have covered most of
what happened and chosen a reasonable selection
of pictures to illustrate appropriately; this of
course meant leaving out so much.
An unsung highlight for a few of us was the
history tour of the RCYC; we were treated to a
very informative but informal chat given by Bill
McNaughton. He
is a long-standing
member of the club and was so enthusiastic about the checkered history and traditions
associated with it. We toured the impressive clubhouse and then walked the grounds as
little amusing gems were imparted with details as to how the club has grown on the island
over many years to become the fantastic facility that it is today. Along the way we were
also treated to a glimpse into the ancient ‘Poonah Yacht Clubhouse’ where we gatecrashed a pre-nuptial lads celebration, got plyed with rum and coke and we girls got to
kiss the bridegroom-to-be, tethered with a manacle and chain to an anchor - poor chap!
In the winter issue I hope to follow up with a bit more detail on some of the innovations
mentioned and possibly some short stories from other attendees to highlight particular
events... big hint I need your input to share with those unlucky not to be there and of
Bill McNaughton
course other news and views from all the other things you have been up to this year.
Some of us will soon be looking at the last few weeks of sailing and hauling out for the winter - perish the thought!
