Biggest Flag Crew

Dec 5, 2016

Always measure first

This CY Onboard feature celebrates your photos. A wonderful crop this week. The plan was to publish two but because we got so many good ones we’re already going to three. But we need yours!

Here’s a great shot and explanation from Thurman Reynolds, CPS Stratford. Definitely the Photo of the Week.

I did a double take on this one. Looks like a classic case of “Two-foot-itis”. Always measure the storage space before buying the boat.

Biggest Canadian flag in Bermuda

These great photos were submitted by Fraser Forsythe of Saint John, N.B.

“The attached pictures were taken by one of my crew’s daughter, from the small boat abeam my sailboat, at the conclusion of this year’s Newport Bermuda race. The picture were taken of my boat a C&C 41, Sugar & Spice entering Hamilton Harbour from Great Sound on June 22nd this past summer. Oh and by the way the flag measures approximately 34’ X 14’; biggest damn Canadian Flag in Bermuda lol!!”

Send yours and join our tradition. Make it funny, weird, or simply reflective of the boating lifestyle. Whatever they are, we will share them with all of Canada and reward you for taking them. BTW, we have quite a stock of sunsets and yours would add to it. Maybe next time it’s an “All Sunset” edition!

Here are the rules – they must be taken from or near a boat. They must be your shots and free from copyright. Most importantly, they must be wonderful. Send the to us via CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put Photo in the subject line.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

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.
