The 9^th annual Alberg 37 International Owners Association Rendezvous was held at the Oakville Yacht Squadron, Oakville, Ontario on 23 June, 2001. Thanks to the efforts of the Rendezvous Hosts, Marcel and Karen Steinz, who are members of the Oakville Yacht Squadron, the rendezvous was a resounding success.

Also attending by boat were David and Sandy (friends of Scotty and Fran Lamont) who sailed over from St. Catherines, Ontario in company with ROB ROY aboard their Alberg designed Cape Dory 38 cutter (and Alberg 37 cousin), TUMBLEWEED.

Much "boat talk" and boat tours took place during the day long activities. A highlight of the Rendezvous was a short visit by Mr. and Mrs. Alex Magnone. Alex was the shop foreman overseeing the construction of the majority of the Alberg 37s by Whitby Boat Works, and currently owns Whitby Boat and Specialty Woodwork, Ltd., located in the former Whitby Boat Works shop spaces. Alex specializes in boat building, and general boat restoration, (especially Alberg 37s). Additionally, Joe Fernandez of Taylor Sails stopped by for a short visit. Joe built most of the original sails for the Alberg 37 and can still accommodate needs for Alberg 37 sails. Needless to say, both Alex and Joe were inundated with questions regarding A-37 construction, sails, and general A-37 history.

The day’s events culminated in a social hour at 1600 and a BBQ (Chef Marcel Steinz presiding) at 1800.
