Hi,
Just bought Third Base, a 1984, 30ft vessel and looking for parts.
Third base will be anchor at Club nautique Berthier, Quebec, Canada, on St-Laurence river.
Somebody know where I can find these goose neck, sort of chimney, situated on the roof of the cabin, one is missing ![]()
Thanks
Welcome to the Nonsuch family and congratulations on your purchase of Third Base.
Sorry I can’t help you with your missing part.

Hi Jean,
I have a few questions that might clarify which pieces you are looking for. First, is Third Base a Classic or an Ultra. (It helps to put boat size length and location in your signature).
If you have a Classic, ignore this message. If you have an Ultra, the starboard dorade vent (I think that is what you are referring to) is over the shower. The port side vent is for the old paloma water heater. It is not for general ventilation, unless you are doing what I am. My Paloma heater had already been removed and the heater vent started to leak into my cupboard. I bought a teak dorade box and cowl. I am going to plumb in a vent from the dorade to a register I will install on the cabin wall, over the bed, and power it with a high volume 12v computer cooling fan. I found the Dorade box at Defender.com. I found a short version of the cowl at go2Marine https://www.go2marine.com/Sea-Dog-Low-Profile-Cowl-Vent-Snap-on-Deck-Plate?gclid=Cj0KCQiAo-yfBhD_ARIsANr56g5SumvcYkKQg4dNgyXLkbl5DID7sTQOiMNnfACoUKfstpOtiAKLE00aAgmKEALw_wcB. When reefed, my original cowl would get knocked off with every tack because the sail hangs a little lower.
Like Val posted, Mike Quill has lots of stuff, but rumor has it, he is retiring this summer.

Jean: Perhaps you can take a picture of the area in question?? Hint – sign your posts similar to mine and it gives us more info and saves time. You may even find a fellow Nonsuch owner near you.

Hi Charles,
Third Base is a Classic.
With the lien you posted, yes it’s the starboard dorade vent for the water heather, on top of the toilet room.
I will get back

If it is of any help, the picture shows a dorade vent and a Charlie Noble. My boat is equipped with a dorade vent on each side.

Good luck. If I can assist with pics or whatever, since I own a NS 30 classic, just holler at me.
Cheers,
