September 7, 2016

The latest issue of Canadian Yachting is now available for you to view!

OCTOBER 2016
 
“Waypoints Winter Cruising” is the theme and the timing is perfect for you to plan and book that “bucket list” Winter charter cruise for 2017!

The feature story is the “Millennials Charter” where a whole group of successful millennial generation sailors and racers head to the British Virgin Islands for an unforgettable Footloose catamaran cruise!

Next, life-long international cruising couple Sheryl and Paul Shard share their experiences about the easy-cruising destination of St. Martin and how they first learned to cruise. Their article focuses on how you can get started cruising and they offer lots of valuable suggestions based on their years of experience. The Shards are the stars of the Distant Shores TV show and are originally from Ontario.

The Informed Boater, Rob MacLeod, continues his three-part series, Confident Sailor / Reluctant Sailor, by sharing his experiences with onboard power needs and power management while maintaining harmony with his mate.

Also in the October issue, Robin Ball reviews the exciting new Beneteau Oceanis 35, John Armstrong and Andy Adams review the super versatile and clever Swift 30 for those who want to cruise efficiently but under power, and Katherine Stone takes us on a visit to the Nanaimo Yacht Club.

All this and more in the October 2016 Canadian Yachting magazine!

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.
