What is 83-year-old Ok-sun Hyun doing jumping into the ocean with a leaded belt and a sharpened knife? Just what she’s been doing for the past 65 years: collecting abalone, sea urchin and octopus to feed the villagers on the small island of Jeju in South Korea. It is primitive, painful and lonely work, and she is one of a dying breed. In Last Mermaids, follow the journey of Korean American Kimi Kim as she leaves her hometown New York to find her roots on Jeju Island. With Ok-sun as her mentor, she learns the ancient craft of diving for sustenance and finds peace beneath the surface in the mermaid’s garden.
This boat is perfectly named as “Simplicity” is what the Canadian built Nonsuch is all about: one sail, one sheet, one halyard. We are thrilled to have a beautiful 30′ example on our Sales Dock as they very rarely come to market! Designed by Mark Ellis, Canadian Boating magazine sums up this cat-rigged vessel as ” being able to be sailed by 1 person who has no desire to leave the comfort of the cockpit”. But don’t let this description mislead you as there is tons of room inside and out for crew and guests. Topsides the large Main is easily handled hoisting via electric winch and lazy jacks make light work of folding the sail at the end of the day. All lines lead aft with self-tailing winches and the large cockpit is protected by a dodger and bimini. Anchoring is made easy by the Lewmar electric windlass and this vessel comes complete with davits for easy launching and recovery of a dinghy. Down below, the rig design creates an extremely open cabin space that feels much larger than her 30′ LOA. Entering the cabin you find a large comfortable seating area, galley with fridge/freezer, lots of storage, 2 burner stove and oven and pressurized hot and cold water. Moving forward, the large head (with separate shower stall that can also be used as a wet locker) can be accessed either through the main cabin or by the forward master cabin with large pullman style berth and opening hatches and ports for ventilation throughout the vessel. Available to view by appointment, Simplicity comes with assumable moorage at our popular Sidney location. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
