Canadian Yachting June 2023 - 40

REMEMBERING DAVID DURWARD
- by P/C/C Doreen Hinksman
David A. Durward, a dear friend and colleague, passed away
March 29th, 2023 at the age of 86.
Our deepest sympathies to his wife Cynthia, his son Andrew,
his daughter Jennifer and the extended family. David will
always have a place in our hearts.
An electrical engineer by profession, David had a true mechanical
mind known to his family and to many friends as
Mr. Fix-It. He always had some project or another going.
David was also a skilled woodworker who built
many boats over the years. His ambition was to
build a steam-powered boat, which sadly remains
a dream.
David was born in Dundee, Scotland where a lifelong
love of the water began at a very early age.
He was just a teenager when he joined a boating
club and began racing in single and double sculls.
David also loved sailing, his first real boat being
an 18-foot skiff with four oars, a mast and a sail
made from flour bags. He built a trailer for the boat and
towed it behind his bike to the club every chance he could.
David later joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and
saw service minesweeping the Norwegian approaches before
emigrating to Ontario. Once there, he built an Enterprise
sailing dinghy and, with some friends, established a
sailing club on the Upper Niagara River.
Although he returned to Scotland a few times, David made
his long -term home in Niagara Falls, where he married and

raised his family. More boats followed. The yawl Lysander,
which had several iterations, was his final boat.
David joined CPS-ECP in 1975 and was a life member, taking
all of our courses through to SN. What may seem surprising
because he had such a mechanical skill set is that David was
also an accomplished artist. CPS-ECP was the benefactor
of David's artistic talents, which he gave unstintingly to
us. David did the illustrations for many of our textbooks,
and was a member of the training aids, publications and
graphics committees over several years. He also
designed the CPS-ECP Christmas cards, many
of which showcased his sailboat Lysander, decorated
for the season.
David also served on educational department
committees as well as took on the administrative
duties of DTO, DC, ANTO and National
Educational Officer, known then as Training
Officer. David served as our Chief Commander
from 1999 to 2001.
A gifted teacher, David instructed many courses and was
an active member of Fort Erie Squadron, Niagara District,
until health issues overtook him.
David was a member of both the Dalhousie Yacht Club and
the Wormit Boating Club on the Tay Estuary in Scotland
where a flag was lowered to half-mast in his honour. A
rainbow appeared in the sky at that moment - a fitting
tribute to our friend. ■
