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.

Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It is a place of great beauty as well as being a fun place to sail for cruisers and racers alike. The tides are strong due to the large volume of water that races in and out of the narrows between Portaferry and Strangford every 12 hours. Mastering the tides is a key to getting where you want to be as fast as possible. If you get it wrong you will end up going backwards in seconds. It is always great when someone takes footage of you boat from afar, this drone footage was taken James Curran as GTR works towards on the Narrows on her way to the Irish sea during the 2019 race from East Down Yacht Club to the Isle of Mann. It was a great days racing with GTR just making the crossing before the time limit prevented other boats from recording a finish in the IRC 1 class.
