PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
by Rich Vickers
Welcome to 2012 and a new boating year. As I write this, I am looking out on the Rideau River,
covered with ice and snow, and not yet ready to embrace our precious boats. However, I find as I get
older, time moves much quicker and before we know it, we will be launching.
We recently held our first board meeting to get the year started. Our directors consist of Ray Saunders,
Chris Spooner, Mark Krzyzanowski, Paul Blaber and our treasurer, James Bond. There is a lot of
enthusiasm on our board and I look forward to a great year.
Unfortunately, James is leaving us to take a new position in sunny Texas in early February. James has
been a great contributor to the club and we will miss him. I will assume the treasurer position on an
interim basis.
Judy Saunders has completed her term and did a great job for the club. She will attend our board
meetings as Past President and will continue to benefit from her wisdom. Rick Beaudry has also
completed his term and we thank him for his contribution. Ray Saunders is assuming the direction of a
strategic planning exercise, which you will be hearing more of shortly. I urge everybody to get involved
and ensure your voice is heard.
I look forward to a fun year!
PAST PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
by Judy Saunders
On reviewing this past year, I realized that we had an active year for a small club: social dinners to
stay in touch during the off-season, a successful Shop Tour on a miserable day, well-attended cruise
nights throughout the season (despite sometimes "iffy" weather), a great boat show that is wellrecognized in the community and our always popular Burritt`s Run. We also tried a couple of one day
trips with modest response. I want to thank my Board members for their constant support
and especially, to acknowledge the roles played for many years by Rick Beaudry, our retiring member,
and by Dinah Scholfield, last year`s Past President. Our cruise night hosts and Boat Show chairs and
volunteers are the heart of this club - cheers to all of you for your many years of support to MCBC.
I urge all of you to lend a hand to Rich Vickers, our 2012 President, as he leads this club in preparing for
the future.
MCBC MEMBERSHIP SURVEY
As you may recall, MCBC Communications recently sent you an email requesting your completion
of a membership survey. A survey was drafted in an effort to learn more about the club in an effort to aid
in decision making and long term planning. We hope for a very large response rate to this survey. After
all, this is your Club and your continued membership and attendance at Club events and activities is
required to keep the Club healthy. If you did not have a chance to complete this survey, please do so as
soon as possible. The Board would like an opportunity to review and compile the results before a
strategic meeting at the end of the month.
The survey is still available at the following address: http://kwiksurveys.com?s=LKIDFN_40b3b453
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – NOVEMBER 26TH 2011
At this year’s Annual General Meeting, MCBS welcomed Paul Blaber & Ray Saunders on to the Board of
Directors. Rich Vickers was nominated as the club’s new President and Judy Saunders was commended
for her time and efforts as past club President. Dinah Scholfield was awarded the President’s Cup and the
Jelleys were thanked for their efforts in organizing the annual shop tour and Burrits Rapids fall run. The
club would also like to acknowledge Heather Phelan for her continued energy in organizing the AGM at
Manderly.
THE RESTORATION OF “TINKER TU”
by John Richardson
Tinker Tu is a 1966 Greavette runabout Inboard/Outboard (I/O), powered by a 1966 Mercruiser
110 HP engine. She was constructed of 3/8-inch marine plywood on oak frames and was bronze fastened
in most cases, but not all.
My uncle, Dr. George Emery, bought the boat new and enjoyed it for several years at his cottage on Lake
of Bays, Muskoka. She has been in the family ever since his passing. His previous beloved boat was
named Tinker Bell so he christened his new passion, Tinker Tu. My cousin Dave Peden acquired her from
another cousin, pictured in the boat, when her ex-husband could no longer maintain her. Tinker Tu sat
unused in one storage area or another for many years.
Cousin Dave e-mailed me telling me that he would be interested in restoring the boat but was horrified at
the price estimates offered by local boat yards in his area of the golden horseshoe. He asked me if I might
be interested in giving it a try. I told him that I would be very happy to restore my late uncle’s classic. On
May 27, 2011, she arrived at my shop in the pouring rain looking soggy and down-at-heel. Dave told me
that the engine ran but was leaking a lot of water so I knew that it would have to be removed and
repaired out of the boat.
My son-in-law, Dale Hill,
and grandson, Cameron
Hill, set to work on Day 1
removing lighting fixtures,
hardware
and
trim,
cataloguing them and the
mélange of fastenings for
each. Whoever removed
the bling on this boat
previously lost half of the
screws and used a strange
assortment of ferrous
fastenings to replace them.
So I knew I would have to
scour the bazaars to find
the very small oval-headed
stainless
steel
screws
required.
The heavy bronze castings forming the protective nosepieces on the bow as well as the bow navigation
light fixture had to be re-chromed.
Further inspection of the boat revealed a split in the lower unit of the Out/Drive. It was caused, no doubt,
by water freezing and expanding through the housing.
Other problems became apparent as I began to look closely at Tinker Tu’s wear and tear.
The transom was my immediate concern as
there was rot in at least two areas. I
removed the wrap-around splash rails and
found that they were not bedded and were
affixed to the sides and transom using
untreated plain steel screws. The screws
rusted out allowing water to settle in and
rot the plywood transom and the sides
where they fastened to the transom as well
as a few other areas on the sides.
Repair consisted of cutting out enough wood around the rotted area to ensure that the remaining
plywood was sound and not de-laminated. Then the transom was saturated with Clear Penetrating
Epoxy Sealer (CPES), shown below freshly applied. The cut out areas were patched with new marine
plywood glued and screwed into place. Sikaflex caulking was then pasted over the seams with a firm
putty knife.
Using the old skin as a template, I cut out the new one on the band saw from 3/8-inch marine plywood
stock and dry fit it in place. I marked the openings for Out/Drive and engine compartment vents and cut
them out. I then fastened on the new outer transom using Sikaflex and stainless steel screws.
Anticipating the requirement to retrieve and reinstall the repaired engine, I proceeded to finish the
transom, since the Out/Drive U-joint Bellows needed to be reinstalled on the transom to mount the
engine. It was easier to apply the finish with no such obstructions.
Stay tuned for Part 2!
MORE ADVENTURES IN THE BOATING WORLD
by Mark Krzyzanowski
As I write this, I am just getting back from Boston, home of the New England Boat Show which has
been an annual event since 1955. I must admit, I was very intrigued to learn how different the boaters are
along the East coast and how catching a 90 pound fish is “not a good day” – definitely a little bit different
than our standards! The journey to Boston started with a slight delay along Interstate 90 around
Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The shop truck developed a “clinking” noise for about 2 miles on the thruway.
Turns out the tailpipe had slipped off the muffler – not a problem, every shop truck has an abundant
supply of duct tape and cable ties. 5 minutes later, 4 cables ties, and a stip of duct tape later, the war
wagon was back on the road (not to mention Coast Guard approved…double cable-tied). The show was
pretty sizable and had a lot of interesting ocean-going boats. I’ve included some pictures below.
Back in the fall I ended up taking a few trips to pick up boats. One trip included an 8 hour drive to
Chicoutimi, Quebec to pick up a 26 foot Chris Craft Express Cruiser. For those of you who have never been
to Chicoutimi, don’t go. It’s far, it’s cold, and it’s dark – very dark! It was only October, but I fully expected
to see snow. The next trip came about a month later. I ventured down to Lake George, NY, a hotbed of
wooden boat activity. The trip down involved about a foot of snow in central NY state, right in the heart of
the snow belt. I came back North with a Riva Ariston in tow and opted to take the I-90 and I-81 to come
home. It was sunny skies and great driving from that point on!
I spent some time at the Toronto International Boat Show in January. The event was well attended and
there was an excellent wooden boat presence. I attended with a 1962 Higgins Utility and spent time
supporting the ACBS in the front of the show. Next stop will be the Sunnyland Antique Boat Festival later
in March followed by Keels & Wheels in Seabrook Texas in early May.

MCBC CRUISE NIGHT DOWN SOUTH
WEEKEND RIDEAU TOUR – JULY 20TH – 22ND
MCBC is planning a Weekend Rideau Tour from Friday, July 20th to Sunday, July 22nd.
We will be traveling on the Rideau between Westport and Jones Falls, one of the nicest sections of the System. Our
friends from the Trent Severn Antique & Classic Boat Association will be joining us as well.
The Saturday run is also open to those who are only able to join us for the day. Although the final details have not
been finalized here is the current itinerary:
Friday, July 20th
·
·
·
·
·
Launch in Portland around noon.
Meet for lunch at the Galley Restaurant, located at the Portland public ramp/docks.
Short tour of Big Rideau Lake (Tour details to be finalized)
Travel to Westport, through the Narrows Lock, dock and check-in to your accommodation.
Meet for Dinner in Westport, (location to be finalized)
Saturday, July 21st
· Be at the docks and ready to depart at 10:00AM
· Cruise to The Opinicon, through the Newboro and Chaffey’s locks.
· Lunch at the Opinicon
· After lunch there are a number of options but the recommended trip would be to travel through the
Davis Lock and head to the top of Jones Falls. Docking space at Jones Falls will be scarce at this time of
year, but the boating alone will be well worth the trip.
· Return to Westport and meet for dinner (location to be finalized).
Sunday, July 22nd
·
At your leisure, return to Portland, trailer your boat and head home.
Accommodations:
If you plan to spend the weekend in Westport it is recommended that you book your accommodations as
soon as possible. There is a good number of B&B’s in Westport and I would suggest my favorite tool, Google to find
a room. At the time I’m writing this there are two rooms left at the Cove Inn. Just remember that if your
accommodation does not have dockage you will be walking from the town docks.
If you plan to join us on this trip, please notify Ron Jelley either by email, jelleys@sympatico.ca or phone 613-6922273.
