to Nonsuch owners to make the decision to join what

promises to be a memorable week among fellow Non-

suchers. I am already aware that George and Kate

Prior (NS 33 IRISH MIST) are planning to lead a flo-tilla from Rhode Island. Other Nonsuch owners from

Long Island Sound, Chesapeake Bay and locations en

route to Kingston via the Hudson River-Erie Canal

system should consider joining this group. I encourage

the formation of other flotillas from the all of the Great

Lakes as well as points east on the St. Lawrence River

to Halifax. As I have travelled most of these routes be-

fore, I would be pleased to offer assistance in voyage

planning.

The biennial Rendezvous, which is held alternately be-

tween venues in the USA and Canada, is only one of

the many advantages available to members of the In-

ternational Nonsuch Association. The INA also main-

tains one design control for fair and competitive racing

within the class; provides knowledge, parts and ser-

AA s I write this piece in early

December the advanced

planning for the 2010 In-

ternational Nonsuch Association

Rendezvous in Kingston, Ontario on July 11-17 has just

been completed. In this issue of Update you will find in-

formation to help you plan your attendance whether you

arrive on your boat or by plane, train or car. This in-

cludes Notice of Race, Registration Form, Regatta Entry

Form and Schedule of Events, as well as hotel reserva-

tion and tourism information. All of this information will

also be displayed on the Nonsuch web site at www.

Nonsuch.org. Efforts are being made to ensure that eve-

ryone will have the opportunity to participate in either

the cruising or racing programs.

This will be the fourth Rendezvous held in Kingston, the

most of any location. There are several reasons for its

popularity. The waters off Kingston have ideal sailing

conditions and were the site of the sailing events for the

1976 Montreal Olympic Games. The adjacent Thousand

Islands area is considered one of the world’s finest fresh

water cruising areas. The Kingston area is steeped in his-

tory. The Rideau Canal between Kingston and Ottawa,

including Fort Henry and other fortifications, has been

designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ren-

dezvous program has been designed to take advantage of

all of these attributes.

Even more important, Kingston is central to a high per-

centage of Nonsuch boats in northeastern North Amer-

ica. With the advanced planning complete, it is now up

vices to enable INA members to properly maintain and pro-

tect their investment in a high quality yacht; and encourages

participation in the independent regional groups of Nonsuch

owners. Perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the availability

of the INA sponsored discussion group, which allows mem-

bers to obtain support and knowledge from other Nonsuch

owning members. In addition, the INA web site provides,

among other things, information on maintenance of various

boat systems and equipment as well as a market place for

buying and selling Nonsuch boats and ancillary equipment.

It should not be surprising, therefore, that the INA remains

one of the strongest sailboat class associations in the world

with very reasonable membership fees. A strong owners’

association helps maintain a high resale value for each Non-

such. Your membership helps protect your investment.

This issue of Update has been edited once again by Ed and

Maria Charest of the Chesapeake Bay Nonsuch Association.

Sue Walker, who was appointed editor in July, has now re-

gained her health and plans to resume her duties with the

Spring 2010 issue of Update. Sue began her interest in desk-

top publishing while doing voluntary editing work for a lo-

cal wildlife trust newsletter and has been editing her sailing

club newsletter for many years. She and her husband Andy

started sailing together following their marriage in 1973. Af-

ter hiring small sailboats for several years they purchased

their first boat, a Poacher 6.4, a miniature version of the

Nereus 40. They then sailed a Freedom 25 for seven years

before purchasing the Nereus 40, GOLDENMEAN, in 2000 and joining INA as associate members. In 2008 they

purchased their Nonsuch 30, MERLIN OF MERSEA, which they sail in the Bristol Channel near their home in

Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, UK.

By the time you receive this issue of Update the annual

meeting of the INA Board of Directors will have been held

in Kingston. A report on the proceedings of this meeting

will be given in the Spring 2010 issue of Update. I request

all members and regional associations to help our new editor

get off to a good start by sending articles and photographs

suitable for publication to her at [email protected].

TT hat is what NONSUCHERS can look forward to in

the 2010 Rendezvous in Kingston!

If you enjoyed the 1989, 1993 and 2002 INA Ren-

dezvous held in Kingston, or if you missed them regretfully,

please plan to be there for this coming one. SAVE the dates

July 11 - 17, SEND in your registration form early to reserve your slip, and SAIL to beautiful, historic Kingston in the sum-

mer of 2010.

The city of Kingston is known as the fresh-water sailing capital

of North America. Located in the eastern portion of Southern

Ontario, Kingston is an easy sail or drive from Montreal, Ot-

tawa, Toronto and northern New York State. This is where

Lake Ontario runs into the St. Lawrence River, and the famous

Thousand Islands begin. The Thousand Islands Region is an in-

ternational tourism destination; it has more than 1,000 islands,

large and small, dotted along the St. Lawrence River and the

eastern shores of Lake Ontario. It offers a breathtaking scenic

sailing ground for cruisers, and navigation challenges for rac-

ers. The itinerary of the 2010 INA Rendezvous promises to in-

corporate a sampling of the natural beauty of this region, while

giving members an enjoyable week-long experience to remem-

ber.

Flora MacDonald Confederation Basin Marina This marina, where we will be moored for the first four and last

nights, is in the heart of downtown Kingston. It is within walk-

ing distance to many of Kingston’s attractions: the majestic

City Hall, displaying 19th century limestone architecture;

breath-taking waterfront parkland; Princess Street, where the

beauty of yesterday blends with the sophistication of today; fine

army, performed entirely by 75 uniformed college and

university students.

Enjoy an hour and a half entertainment of flutes, drums,

bayonets and thundering cannons in the UNESCO World

Heritage designated site, surrounded by friends: an eve-

ning to remember!

Gananoque A full day sail trip is planned for all rendezvous atten-

dees, cruisers and racers, from Kingston to Gananoque.

Nestled along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River,

Gananoque is the entry point to the picturesque Thousand

Islands. After a downstream sail on the big river, we will

dock overnight at the Gananoque Municipal Marina,

and then dine at the Gananoque Inn and Spa, a member of

Ontario’s Finest Inns.

For those who enjoy nightlife, one of the major attrac-

tions here is the Thousand Islands OLG Casino. Another

want to add to the story is about Jon, an unusually

knowledgeable and involved client. That our relation-

ship was never strained over the length of the project

says much for Jon’s character. Left to my own devices,

ANOMALY would have likely been a simpler boat, less complex in many details. Having said that, what Jon

provided in detail design and engineering, and, in many

cases, parts made with his own hands, works very well.

Jon’s innovative ideas, tempered by his pragmatic de-

sign abilities and intuitive aesthetic sense, kept percolat-

ing throughout the entire design and building process.

Jon presented the concept in nearly complete form for

several notable features in the boat and both he and I

knew that it would be better if he provided the detail

drawings. To wit, the dinghy “garage” has a sliding

hatch cover and transom platform “door” that are per-

fectly fitted to the deck and hull and work superbly. The

“pop up” hard top dodger, that when lowered, is an ab-

solutely inconspicuous part of the trunk cabin and is aes-

thetically pleasing and practical when raised. The down-

ward pushing double vang arrangement on the main

boom works flawlessly and is the best answer for verti-

cal boom control on the rotating-mast configuration.

Jon’s design for housing the extendable spinnaker sprit

in a tube made into the anchor bowsprit is very slick and

pleasing to the eye. The au courant “square head” of the

mainsail, held erect by a gaff-like batten, made the hal-

yard shackle unreachable when the sail was lowered un-

til Jon devised solution that he is patenting. In addition

to all the creative thought that Jon brought to bear, he

also put in expert work as a machinist turning out truly

beautiful parts from solid metal.

ANOMALY was expertly and handsomely finished at the Bruckmann Yachts shop not far from my office and I

enjoyed meeting with Jon several times every year (!) of

the boat’s long gestation (building) period. Ann joined

Jon’s visits several times and Barbara and I have had

such fun being friends of ANOMALY’s master and

mistress! ANOMALY truly represents the best in cus-tom yachts and the result of an extraordinary client/

designer/builder relationship that has given me much

satisfaction. She bears a strong resemblance to my work

in NONSUCH and that adds greatly to my pleasure.

The Designer’s Point of ViewThe Designer’s Point of ViewThe Designer’s Point of View By Mark Ellis

. Editor’s note: In the 1970’s Mark Ellis was approached by vi-

sionary Canadian yachtsman Gordon Fisher with his concept of a

simple catboat that would have a freestanding rig coupled with a

modern fin-keel and spade-rudder. The first of over 950 Non-

suches was launched in 1978. About eight years ago, Jon Fitch,

who owned Nonsuches for many years, approached Mark with his

own vision. The result is another remarkable boat with a free-

standing rig that expands upon the legacy of the Nonsuch. The

following is Mark’s perspective on this recent collaboration.

LL ate in September 2009, my wife Barbara and

I had a very pleasant dinner With Jon Fitch

and his wife, Ann Nunziata, in Port Credit,

Ontario. Jon and Ann had just completed a

1500-mile, 30-day, whirlwind Great Lakes cruise

aboard their new 45-foot cat ketch ANOMALY. The cruise took them through the Welland Canal to Lake

Erie, then up Lake Huron to the North Channel and

then all the way back downstream to Lake Ontario. Be-

ing the proud designer of ANOMALY, I am pleased to report that Jon and Ann had a trouble free (except for a

few electronic glitches), fast-passaging, cruise that ful-

filled their and my aspirations for the boat.

Jon wrote a great piece about the creation of ANOM-

ALY that appeared in the last issue (Fall ’09) of Non-such Update. I do not have much to add to his descrip-

tion, as he undoubtedly knows the boat better than I or

my friend, Mark Bruckmann, the builder. What I do

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 activi-

ties. 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 associa-

tion 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. Please

AA Summer of Nonsuches Summer of Nonsuches

By Chris & Monica Brittain MONICAT II

TT he summer of 2009 started off slow in eastern Canada

but by mid-July the weather was great and Nonsuches

started to gather in greater than usual numbers in Nova

Scotia's famous Bras d'Or Lakes.

For those not familiar with the area, the Lakes are actually

salt water, with entrances from the ocean at the south and

north ends. The salt water is where the similarity with the

ocean ends. Here, in this 800-square miles of cruising

paradise, there are negligible tides (less than a foot), pro-

tective hills that keep out fog, and hundreds of tiny coves

and anchorages where you may well be the only boat.

Each year many American, Canadian, and foreign yachts

make their way to the Bras d' Or to take a break from the

ocean or as a way station to prepare for the rigors of

southern Newfoundland, the Magdalen Islands, or Labra-

dor. Or perhaps they are licking wounds from the annual

Halifax to St. Pierre race, or the Marblehead to Halifax.

We have been going to the Bras d' Or since the early

1980's, but this is the year we will remember for the num-

bers of Nonsuchers we encountered. Most were from Hali-

fax or the south shore of Nova Scotia, but there were oth-

ers who had travelled from farther a field.

Our most amazing sighting was as we ghosted into Mas-

kell Harbour at midnight one night and were greeted by a

raft of five: two 30's, two 33's, and a 36; their masts rising

in steps towards the glowing stars.

We cruised for three days in company with MISTY CAT, a 26 owned by Greg Silver, who has the good fortunate of

living year round on the shores of the Bras d'Or. Together

we explored the underwater wreck of the "Yankee" near

Baddeck, and checked in for a night at the slips offered by

the Cape Breton Shipyard.

Baddeck is the wannabe Newport of the Bras d'Or, sport-

ing a very active yacht club and a spirited Regatta Week

that brings racers from far and wide. The adjacent town

wharf recently added additional dockage, but the best deal

seemed to be the half-dozen guest moorings right in front

of the Baddeck YC. These are identified by green balls

and payment is by a donation to the junior sailing pro-

gram.

Our preferred base in the Bras d'Or is the village of St.

Peters at the southern extreme of the big lake. Here the

marina is operated by the local Lions Club, and manager

Gerry Gibson is very familiar with welcoming Non-

suches. At any given time this summer there were at

least a couple on a mooring or at the docks preparing to

move up-lake.

Dundee, in West Bay, has a full-service marina just a

half-day sail away, and Baddeck Marine in Baddeck has

a well-stocked marine store.

For us, the Bras D' Or is two full days of sailing (about

120 nautical miles) from our home port of Charlotte-

town, Prince Edward Island. We make one overnight

stop, at Ballantynes Cove, a snug marina shared with

fishing boats and spiced up with a tuna museum and a

seafood snack bar. Nonsuches coming from the Halifax

area are also facing a couple of days sailing, although

many push through on a 24-hour non-stop basis.

What was our greatest realization about the Bras d' Or

this year? That it would be a tremendous place for a full-

blown Nonsuch Rendezvous!

Nonsuch RendezvousNonsuch Rendezvous: By: David and Abby Taylor,

SS andusky Bay on Lake Erie; seven Canadian built boats sailing to-gether for the Nonsuch Rendezvous visited the Sandusky Sailing Club. Many thanks go out to Kim and Bruce Miles and James

Franchello for their excellent preparation and planning of the event includ-ing food, decorations, and fellowship. A huge thank you goes out to Sandusky Sailing Club (SSC) for allowing the Nonsuch's to gather at the club. We had eight boats represented, which is a record for us! Seven boats were present in the harbor, 2 from Canada, 1 each from Michigan, Rocky River, and Catawba and 2 from the sailing club; another crew arrived by car from Toledo. This was made possible by the hospitality of SSC and has become an annual event here for the past 3 years. Next year we will meet the weekend after labor day. In past years we have been at Pelee Island and Leamington in Ontario starting back in 2001. Those attending were:

Dave and Lynn Bowring, PORTIA; Kim and Bruce Miles and James BLUE MONDAY; Thor and Debbie Powell, MARINE’S CAT V; Bob and Meredith Reusser, AMAZING GRACE TOO; Rob Sexmith, PATRICIA ANN; David and Abby Taylor, WHISPER; Peter Thornton, JOLEE; Jim Worden, ANNIE, came by car Photos provided by Western Lake Islands members.

The fleet huddles before the battle.

With water pistols drawn the battle begins.

The victor seeks out the next victim with water pistols in hand.

Score!

FF or the Western Lake Island members it’s just another fun rendezvous. Come join us in Sept. 2010 for our next fun event!! For details contact: James Franchello 740 587 4179

CChesapeake Bayhesapeake Bay By Ed Cook, CHAT-EAU

GGroundhog Day, your correspondent can’t get the idea of Groundhog Day out of his head. It’s not because it happens to be his birthday. Nor is it because of the world’s attention as it awaits the decision of Punxatau-ney Phil on the timing of the arrival of spring. Instead, the idea persists because of the movie “Groundhog Day,” in which the holiday repeats every day, over and over again. Thus, the Fall 2009 CBNA Rendezvous, held Septem-ber 18th through 20th, suggested the theme of Ground-hog Day because so many things about it were a repeat of the same Rendezvous two years before. Some were intentionally and expertly planned to be the same. After all, no need to reinvent the wheel. But some were unex-pectedly, in some cases even eerily, the same. On Friday the fleet assembled throughout the afternoon “behind” Gibson Island inside the Magothy River. That’s just a few miles north of the Bay Bridge and An-napolis, and is the same well-protected and peaceful an-

chorage we used in the fall of 2007. On CHAT-EAU with me were Cindia Gottshall (same), our two Jack Russell terriers (same) as we voyaged pleasantly, warmly (same), although a little too calmly (same) southward into a southerly puff (same) from the Middle River, where we had departed a little later than we had hoped for (that never changes). Once well into the Magothy we curled eastward through the Magothy Narrows, then swung around Hol-land Point. As the anchorage came into view we could

see Mike Ostrow in ARENDAR (same), Ed and Maria Charest in FUNSUCH (same), Founding Commodore Dick and Delcy Barton in PHAT, Vice Commodore Al and Robin Burke in RAZZMATAZZ, the Zinners - John and Elizabeth - in POLARIS (same), and in his CBNA debut, Ryan Gniazdowski aboard ZU ZU’S PETALS. Instead of rafting up, everyone anchored out independently (same). ARENDAR was the flagship of the fleet that evening as Mike Ostrow not only hosted the Commodore, but the rest of us as well (same), in the huge cockpit of his beautifully maintained 36. Many appetizers got passed around (same), and libations, too

(same), as everybody enjoyed “catching up” (same) be-fore sailors returned to their own boats by dinghies no longer as stable as when they arrived (same). There had been some mention that the wind was forecasted to back to the north during the night and increase a good deal (same). Yet for now, sublime was the harmony that all our assembled catboats brought to that harbor (same). Late that night, just as forecasted, the harmony rudely and suddenly ended (same). Though it’s not an exact Groundhog Day repeat of 2007, our host had to undergo one of those shocking middle-of-the-night wakeups out of a deep sleep to deal with a dragging anchor (that honor went to someone else in 2007). After vaulting awake and hitting his head hard, Mike spent a good deal of time motoring around to different locations trying to

get a good set on ARENDAR’S anchor, which he fi-nally did.

CHAT-EAU left the anchorage early the next morning to go to the well-known, uninhabited Dobbins Island in order to give the dogs some exercise before the sched-uled fleet crossing of the Bay (same). Then at about 0945, a la Groundhog Day, in a wind building from the north, the 26s led the fleet out of the Magothy, and blindly plunged like fate into the dark Chesapeake (Apologies to Melville). In an uncanny similarity to 2007, the wind was coming straight down the Bay pro-viding maximum fetch for building waves. Commodore Dick Barton unreefed (always the same) led the way.

Soon the fleet, some reefed and some not, settled out naturally in position by length of waterline, al-

though PHAT, a 26, never got caught (some things never change). Again, like two years before, the Bay was beauti-

ful, with clear blue skies above, and dark, breaking white capped waves below. Most Chesapeake boats stayed sheltered from the strong winds in their harbors (same), except for a few hardy ones and our long line of Nonsuches bounding the 10 miles or so across the Bay to Rock Hall. After our arrival in Swan Creek, everyone spent the afternoon settling into Haven Harbour Marina (same), visiting and resting (same). Joe and Made-

leine Tierney who sailed from Annapolis in AL-LEGRO and Roland Wood who brought WENDY HAWK II from the West River joined us. Ed Strazzini, MANATEE, and his guest and new


NNova Scotia ova Scotia By George Archibald, MAGICAL

WW e are having our annual dinner at The Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron on Feb 20. That is Boat Show Saturday so we will have Nonsuch

sailors in Halifax for the show; it makes a great weekend event. We will talk endlessly about our boats, sailing and latest equipment acquisitions. Next summer’s Rendezvous loca-tion will be picked. The Dartmouth Yacht Club, Chester Yacht Club and St Margaret’s Bay Yacht Club have mem-bers who have all shown interest in hosting the event. There is lots of interest in Nonsuch boats in Nova Scotia and we welcome visitors from away!

under fire, Mike got the flooding under control and was towed safely back to Haven Harbour Marina. Later Phat delivered Mike back to his home off the South River. Sev-eral days after the rendezvous Mike reported that mechanics found that the shaft had slipped and had wrenched the shaft seal apart, causing the flooding. Everything was repaired, and ARENDAR soon made it back home to Annapolis. As we look back we are grateful to Dick, Al, Ed and Maria for really making this an active organization of good

friends, and to help insure we see Mike again next year

we’d like to stress that there is no such thing as the Groundhog Day effect.

members Alan and Nan Suydam of REJOICE drove in for the evening. It’s easy to see why rendezvous organizer Al Burke chooses this marina, because it easily handled the arrival of our boats with great efficiency, and offers so many amenities. Great job Al (always the same)! We assembled Saturday evening for an important business meeting that resulted in the election of new officers of the CBNA (definitely not the same). There has been only one Commodore of the CBNA since its founding, Dick Barton. Though it’s not known precisely when Dick first assumed his duties, geological evidence makes certain it was some time since the H.M.S. Nonsuch first headed for Hudson Bay. Succeeding Dick is new Commodore Ed Cook. Similarly, another of our pantheon of Founding Fathers, Vice Commo-dore Al Burke, our “XO” who keeps us all moving ahead, was succeeded by incoming VC Rob Crooks. Al continues on in a new capacity as Treasurer. Finally, the chroniclers of our group, Newsletter Editors Ed and Maria Charest, who so ably kept us informed about each other by producing such a great newsletter for a long, long time, will be succeeded by incoming editor Joe Thompson. After our ride on the Rock Hall trolley (same) to the Water-man’s Crab House for dinner the members awarded in-scribed trophies to our retiring leaders for the superb service they have given all of us. Thanks for everything you’ve done for us over the years! We will strive to live up to your exam-ple. Sunday morning the final day of our Rendezvous, dawned peacefully (same). Everyone had a chance to leisurely visit dockside while gazing at boats, sharing Nonsuch-related sto-ries and saying their good-byes (same). This writer espe-cially remembers getting the chance to talk to Ryan G. about his salvaging of his boat ZU ZU’S PETALS from sitting on the bottom in Florida several years ago and restoring it to the fine sailing condition she’s in now. As we all headed southward out of Swan Creek and into the Bay the Groundhog Day effect showed up one last time in a very serious way. In 2007 while motoring north to Swan Creek after crossing from the Magothy, ARENDAR lost power and was stranded for a while in the channel until Mike could resolve what turned out to be a fuel problem. This year, while motoring south, and at almost the precise spot where he had lost power two years before, Mike’s boat started shipping water at an alarming rate. PHAT and FUN-SUCH, circled nearby as calls went out for assistance. Tow-boat U.S. and the Coast Guard ultimately responded. Calm

GGGeorgian Bayeorgian Bayeorgian Bay By Bill Wheeler

WW e’ve been operating on an informal basis for two years now. We don’t have an executive or col-lect dues but that is not to say we are entirely

inactive. There are 5 to 7 boats that enjoy cruising together on weekends and on longer cruises from Midland up to the North Channel . We also socialize during the off season and 16 of us just had a most enjoyable lunch at a country inn near Orange-ville this past Sunday, Dec 6th. We are small but have fun, any local Nonsuches are wel-come to join in.



LLake Michiganake Michigan By Ken Verhaeren, KISMET

TT his past year has not seen a lot of activity in the Lake Michigan Nonsuch Association (LMNA). E-mails have passed from one to

another and ideas have been expressed as to where we want this organization to go. The majority of people have expressed an interest in some form of local activity, possibly short cruises, races, dinners or just looking at our boats. The most prominent problem comes from the distance between our boats. We have boats spread all around Lake Michigan. Cer-tainly there are clumps of boats in certain areas such as Chicago and Charlevoix. Though our boats are wonderful cruisers, most of us do not sail very far away from our docks. This summer I met with David Young when he spent some time in Chicago’s Du Sa-ble Harbor. It was a long sail from his homeport of Suttons Bay. Hopefully he will write an article about his trip for a future issue of this newsletter. But I digress from my point: Arthur Langley correctly pointed out to me that we have to make activities accessible to those who do not sail far from their harbors. In that light, I have some suggestions for the reorgani-zation of the LMNA. One suggestion is to divide the lake in half because of the locations of current boats. Possibly in the future the lake could be divided into 4 areas as we add members and harbors.
