Lunenburg attracting spectacular visiting yachts

Lunenburg

 

Aug 9, 2018

Nova Scotia’s seafaring history and boatbuilding tradition come to life on the Lunenburg waterfront. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers visitors and residents a close-up on one of the world’s most remarkable and authentic working waterfronts. Continued improvements to the facilities for visiting yachts, particularly around Zwicker Wharf, mean the word is getting out that Lunenburg is yacht friendly. Indeed, a recent article in Bloomberg News mentioned Canada had hit an all time high of 23 visiting superyachts.

A small group of Nordhavn Trawler yachts has been visiting the province and Adam Langley of Develop Nova Scotia (previously the Waterfront Development Corporation) took some nice photos of the boats while they were in town.

Lunenburg 3Develop Nova Scotia has been working with the Lunenburg Waterfront Association and other stakeholders on long term plans for the improvement and protection of Lunenburg’s waterfront. Providing for improved facilities, while still preserving the unique working atmosphere of the waterfront is a delicate balance, but so far things are moving in the right direction. You can keep up with plans by visiting www.my-waterfront.ca and www.lunenburgwaterfront.ca .

With August here, why not visit Lunenburg by boat in time for the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, which starts August 11th or the International Dory Races on the 18th.

Provisioning and Preparation Before You Go Yachting

As exotic and exciting as a bareboat yacht charter sounds (and is) it can still be accessible to the yachting novice because the preparations and details are all clearly spelled out and frequently, are reasonably priced too! For example the Sunsail website explains that yacht sailing is available to all. You don’t need any previous experience to start and the cost is comparable to a villa holiday.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
