This might be one of many artifacts, even as a digital copy of an artifact, that could be in the archive of a 'virtual museum' of Nonsuch culture and history. I would be really interested to enter into this conversation with owners, fans and INA exec if there is a will for such a thing. I am not singling out this particular artifact, but the potential among interested parties, to put together a significant cultural archive that would accompany the practical wisdom that Nonsuch owners and INA members already have curated and benefit from in so many ways, would be a credit to the marque. For the accountants in our group, also ascribes to the market value of our boats. And a boon to 20th C marine history in Canada and worldwide. (BTW there is a museum in Kingston ON that is dedicated to this kind of thing who might be tasked to do this). I have an interest, as a second-generation Nonsuch owner born and raised in St. Catharines, and a past career including community-based museum and interpretive centre design and development. I am willing to hear from people who think this is an interesting idea. Nonsuch is over a half century legacy now. There are ways to celebrate that and fold it into the fabric of history. It almost doesn't matter where the original artifacts/documents are or who owns them, as with a centralized 'virtual museum' the digital versions would be available to anybody, anywhere, for the sake of sharing the knowledge and enabling fans and future owners to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for these very special boats.
With respect for everybody's personal interpretation on the history,
