If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.
Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.
Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boating destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
This is a story of a love affair that started in England in the 1950s and came full circle in the spring of 2026 to end with an emotional reunion.
My husband B Graham Barnard, active member, former Training Officer and currently Past Commander of the Victoria Power and Sail Squadrons (CanBoat/NautiSavoir), learned to sail as a young boy in England. Aspiring to become a farmer, from 1957-1960 Graham worked for and learned from a farmer at Iken’s Farm, Neatishead, Norfolk, England. That farmer was Bob Jones, co-owner along with Frank Cooper of a sailboat named Swallowtail on nearby Barton Broad. The men gave Graham full use of Swallowtail. Graham seized that opportunity to race and enjoy sailing until he emigrated to Canada in early 1960 to own and operate a farm in Cremona, Alberta.
If you are proud of your boat and/or you don’t want to damage it, you are going to want to have fenders on board to protect it. We see lots of errors when it comes to how many, how to use them. In this video, Sean discusses:
Ewincher announces the commercial launch of a new range of electric motors designed for furling boom systems, combining high performance, advanced sail-handling features and a more accessible positioning for the market.
Furling boom systems are gaining momentum among sailing yacht owners looking for easier mainsail handling without compromising sailing performance. Unlike in-mast furling, boom furling allows the use of a fully battened mainsail, helping preserve sail shape, efficiency and the aesthetics of the rig.
