Canadian Wayfarer National Champions The North Bay duo of Dave
Hansman and Dave Richardson scored a resounding win in the Canadian
Nationals regatta at the Conestoga Sailing Club, June. All nine
races were sailed in gusty, shifty, hiking breezes. This is the
team's first win in the Wayfarer Nationals.
Congratulations to Dave and Dave!

Cruise to Chaudiere Lodge Join us at the Chaudiere Lodge on
Saturday, August 10 for dinner. But to prolong the fun, we will
have a Fish Fry on Friday, August 9 in Twilight Bay as we did last
year. There will be Food, Friends and Songs - what more could you
want! If you don’t have a boat, you can book a cottage by
contacting the Lodge https://chaudierelodge.com/. But do it now,
because they fill up quickly. A sign up sheet will be posted two
weeks prior to the event, so be sure you put your names on it
early! Ron Tambeau,
Cruising Commodore

Canada Day A Success
You are never too old to sail! Pat Onions, 92 yrs old, at the
helm of Pei Hu on Canada Day 2019, with Jim Dickson, on the left
and Ken Cork in the middle.
Canada Day was a fun day for both racers and those at the after
celebrations. Racing, Cruising and Clubhouse worked hard to make
sure the day was a success. Some excellent music and food! Thanks
to all who came and took part. Chris Fulton, Cory Boyer and Ron
Tambeau

Clubhouse Report Thank you to the Clubhouse Committee and to all
those who volunteer for the Tuesday and Thursday Race night pizza
and bar. Everything is working out well. Cory Boyer,
Clubhouse
Important Reminders Here are just a few reminders for members to
keep our Club a safe and welcoming for everyone: • Keep your boat
speed in the
harbour to dead slow to reduce the risk of collisions with other
boats. If you are short handed under windy conditions, don’t
hesitate to ask another member for help with your dock lines - slow
boats are difficult to steer!
• Drive slowly down in the parking lot and down to the
point.
• Help take care of our lawn areas - Please keep your vehicle
only on the gravel.
• Remember there is a 20 minute parking limit along the point
for loading and unloading only.
• Pets are welcome on the grounds, but please be sure
they are on a leash. Also make sure you pick up after them and
keep them away from the sail folding areas. Thank you!

Harbour We continue returning the harbour to normal. Repairs
still need to be completed to the docks, pump out system, and
electrical systems. The point pump out is functional. A temporary
pump out work around is in place. The pump out system is expected
to be fully operational by July 20. A vacuum cage has been
installed at the pedestal. See picture below. For optimal suction,
start pump out and wait until vacuum reaches -15 psi before opening
the valve on the vacuum hose. A scuba diver will assist with
dock
repair and mapping out the Pier 1 anchor system to facilitate
anchor chain adjustments. Michel Mino,
Harbour Master
Grounds Report Our summer student, Kris Smith, has started
working. The conditions this year have been a little daunting, but
we’re starting to make headway. The ground cover leading up to the
clubhouse is slowly filling in. A little reminder that if you
notice dry plants, please give them some water. The clay along
Tanzer row is due to be scraped down, topsoil spread, and sod laid
this week. It will need a week of regular watering to get
established and then we’ll finally have our shaded picnic area
back. Another project that needs to be looked at is pruning the
trees around the clubhouse. We’re
losing our view! If anyone is interested in helping, please give
me a shout. Thanks! Brenda Walsh,
Grounds
Best Summer Read: Your NBYC Member Handbook
Now that boating/sailing season is underway, we urge you to pick
up your 2019 NBYC Member Handbook. You can get your copy inside the
lower entrance to the clubhouse.
The booklet contains a wealth of useful and essential
information, including a calendar of events, a list of members and
their contact information, the fee structure, a host of helpful
hints, a summary of important club rules that we are all
accountable to respect, and the Constitution that governs the
operation of the club. For your maximum enjoyment, read your member
handbook this month! A big thank you to Marc Kuzyk for compiling
the edits from the Executive and Jill Faulkner for editing and
designing the handbook. Stephen Glass,
Commodore

Log Book As early ship’s record were inscribed on shingles (cut

“Log-book” was logical and lasted to this day. From: The Traditions

The O’Shea Sprint (The Un-race):
An Overview The 11th Annual
O’Shea Sprint (the Un-race) is set for the afternoon of Sat. Aug.
17.
This race began in 2008 as a way to race a few similar-sized
boats in a friendly event to honour the memory of Mike O’Shea. It
also freed participants from the burden of a handicap system. As it
evolved, we implemented a penalty system for previous winners to
level the playing field. There have been a variety of winners over
the years and too many stories (some even true) to count. For those
who have never participated, this event bears little resemblance to
proper yacht racing that you see on Tuesday nights. There are few
(if any) rules, no protests, no fees, no prizes. Previous victors
are heavily penalized at the start line and those who are not avid
racers will be given lots of room at the start and on the course.
After the race we meet at the Callander Tavern (Lulu’s) for dinner.
Many have claimed the tavern get-together is the best reason to
hold the race, but this is still being hotly debated. We encourage
all those who do not race to consider getting involved. This day
amounts to a fun sail, dinner with friends, and
a few laughs. If there is a down side to this event after 10
years, we haven’t found it yet. In the next couple of weeks all
sailboat owners will receive an invitation via email with a
description of this year’s event. Then shortly before the race the
course and penalties for past winners will be announced. Please
keep this date open on your calendar and consider joining us on the
Bay. Dan Faulkner
