President’s MessageWelcome to our brand new/ old look to the newsletter of the Manotick Classic Boat Club. After much thought, a decision was made to return to the original format so we proudly present the June 2010 first edition of The Brass Binnacle. Special thanks to Dave Tilley for restoring the masthead and for also finding a “brass binnacle” to accompany the header. Frankly, I had no idea what a brass binnacle was and can now boast that it is a device to hold a ship's compass in place. How fitting that our newsletter is taking us in the right direction to upcoming events, news and other boat related topics.
In this edition, you will find articles on some of our well-attended Social events of the last few months. We also feature information on boat auctions and sales. For a list of boat shows that are taking place this Summer, please see the ACBS Rudder for a detailed agenda. Plan trips around the Thousand Island show, A.C.B.S. at Clayton, N.Y. and the Toronto show in Muskoka, ON. This is a great way to see old friends and make new ones.
thOur boat show is rapidly approaching. This year we are excited to host our 35 Ottawa International Antique and Classic Boat Show at Long Island Locks, Manotick, ON. Mark the dates of Friday, August 6 for a Welcome Reception and then Saturday, August 7, 2010, for the main event. Your registration packages are in the mail. Thank you to John and Susan Richardson for all their work putting together and assembling the packages. Please return your completed forms early. We are planning a Birthday Bash with prizes throughout the day and special treats at our delicious dinner at the Manotick Legion. Your committee is working hard to make this event one of the highlights of your Summer. We look forward to seeing you there.
Cruise nights are rolling right along. Join us by boat or by car on Wednesday evenings along the Rideau. More information on these informal events follows.
We welcome your comments and suggestions. Happy boating and stay safe.
Dinah Scholfield, President.

2010 MCBC Shop TourBy Don Segall
thApril 17 was a rainy, wet, cool day in the region, which meant the annual shop tour was a most welcome diversion for our group of enthusiasts. Let me begin by extending the gratitude of our club and the participants to those who opened their doors to us this Saturday. Additional thanks to Stephen Fox for adding his marvellous facility to the list of sites which we were able to access.
Quite frankly, the weather was fit for neither man nor beast this day. Testament to this fact is the photo below we captured of an animal seeking refuge from the conditions, thanks to a Chris Craft Aquahome which just happened to be nearby.
Despite these conditions, it was good to see such a positive turnout for our event. Over the years this activity has proven to be a successful kick-off for each new season and a good excuse to draw our members together to official end the dark days of winter. The refreshments provided by many of our hosts were also greatly appreciated as we took shelter at each stop along our route. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Spring SocialTwenty members of the Manotick Classic Boat Club ventured forth on a cool and rainy April evening to the Marlborough Pub in North Gower. Social chair Heather welcomed all the “Busy Bees” who took time out from readying boats for spring launch to socialize and partake of the fare at this rustic pub.
Door prize winners were Rich Vickers, Jack Hughes and Marion Beaudry but everyone went home with a “Busy Bee” to plant in the garden or to possibly decorate a boat???
MCBC at Manotick’s Dickinson Days
MCBC was represented at Dickinson Days by Ray and Judy Saunders. The display featured ----“Florence”, the Jelleys' 1917 disappearing propeller boat (“Dippy”) renowned for its ability to navigate shallow waters and its slow speed---and drew attention to the advertising poster designed by Dave Tilley to remind people of our upcoming boat show.
Many visitors wanted to confirm when the boat show is, some just admired the simplicity of old engines and boats while others had specific questions about restoring or selling an old boat on their property. It was a great opportunity for us to not only advertise the boat show, but our club as well. Who knows - we may gain a new member or two.

First Cruise Night 2010By Jean Beveridge
th.The weather could not have been more cooperative for the first Cruise Night of the season on May 19 Sunny skies, and a balmy 21 degrees made for a most enjoyable gathering on the Scholfields' patio. Most of the group arrived by road (most boats getting last minute touch ups before launching) but thanks to Skipper Dave Tilley with Crewman Ian Wyllie, the evening was authenticated by their arrival in the lovely “One of 3” his 1968 Wykes runabout.
Good conversation, tasty treats, and beverages were shared by all. Special entertainment was provided by the marine unit of the fire department, practicing water rescues.

Don Segall’s “Sunny Days”
Cruise Nights 2010
Cruise Nights are scheduled every Wednesday evening, from May to September. They are a unique feature of the Manotick Classic Boat Club. They are an opportunity to cruise with your fellow antique boaters (or is that antique boat enthusiasts) on the beautiful Rideau River, tie up at a hosting members dock and socialize by the water. In addition to sharing boating stories, one can also get tips on boat restoration, ask advice, source parts and more. The conversation is not always about boats, one overheard discussion at a recent Cruise Night concerned the pros and cons of 'spray tanning' and it wasn't for a boat!!!
Please join your fellow members for an enjoyable evening. Bring your preferred beverage and a small snack to share. Docking is available, rafting if necessary, many hands will be ready to assist. You are also very welcome by land.
The following pictures were taken at the Jelleys', Macleod-Abramova's, and Scholfields' on recent Cruise Nights. Please revisit the schedule on the following page and plan to come.

The organizers of the Deseronto Waterfront Festival have contacted the Manotick Classic Boat Club in that one of the attractions the festival committee is hoping to organize for participants is an opportunity to participate in various boating activities and displays during the festival. They have asked that our members consider attending our festival
rd on the afternoon of July 3 and display their classic/antique boats to the public and possibly offer charter tours to participants (the display is really the desired option – public tours was just a thought).
