Nominate Your Boating Heroes Today

Casba

Oct 12, 2017

The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is committed to recognizing individuals and groups who strive to make Canada’s waterways a safer place for everyone to enjoy, live, work and play.  The Canadian Safe Boating Awards, “CASBA’s”, are presented annually with the dinner gala considered a flagship event of the council.

CPS-ECP would like to encourage you to think about those who are making a positive impact on your local waters and how national recognition may provide an opportunity to showcase your community’s commitment to safe boating.  By sharing our successes we encourage others as well as provide the recognition so many deserve.

Who are these heroes?  A family or individual faced with a life or death situation who aids another and saves a life; a boating safety advocate, volunteer or teacher whose passion for paddling, sailing or powerboating can’t help but influence others to be engaged;  professionals, media members and industry partners who embrace the need to promote the benefits of boating safety while challenging themselves to consider and share information on the impact on our natural environments…they are all heroes and we are looking for their stories. 

It will only take a few minutes to nominate one of these special people, a group or organization whose efforts in the field of boating safety or environmental stewardship deserve national recognition.   You may consider nominating yourself, your own group or organization.  Award categories include the following:

STEARNS  – Rescue of the Year

Marine Professional of the Year

Top Volunteer Dedicated to Safe Boating

Best Boating Safety Initiative

Safeguarding the Environment

Marine Industry Award

Visible PFD Wear in Advertising

 Best Media Contribution to Boating Safety

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
