Jack Pady Marine is celebrating 40 years in the yacht sales and brokerage business this year and has offered these reflections on the changes in the industry, as well as a look to the future.

“40 Years has seen a number of changes in our Boating Industry. In the 70’s and 80’s, we had a strong power and sail boat manufacturing industry in Canada. Then along came 1990 and “Free Trade”. Almost all Canadian Boat Manufacturing ceased and new boats now come mainly from the USA.

During the same period, we saw an increase in Marinas and Dockage on Georgian Bay as boaters from other areas in Ontario came north to enjoy “The Bay” with their “Cottage on The Water”.”

“Looking ahead, New Boat Sales will come back with a stronger Canadian Dollar. New boats will continue to give us New Technology and with more research we will see better Fuel Efficiency.

Our mandate is to promote the wonderful lifestyle that boating can bring to a family, especially here on Georgian Bay. We have 40 years of experience to rely on.”

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
