This issue we’re all about the latest marine tech. The December issue includes our annual rundown of the latest Marine Electronics Innovations and New Products by Craig Ritchie.

The Chris-Craft Launch 38

Chris Craft RunnerAs for boat reviews? Not to worry, we feature two powerboat reviews for you; the dynamic, affordable and highly versatile new Antares 27 by Beneteau. This line of family cruisers is new to North America and with twin Mercury 200 outboards, (the brand-new V6 designs that are part of the biggest new product introduction in Mercury’s history) we were among the first to drive and review an Antares. We also have a review on the absolutely elegant Chris-Craft Launch 38, with twin MerCruiser 8.2 L engines and the Heritage Edition trim with beautiful teak and stunning deep sapphire blue hull.

Motors, and more! We take you inside to have a special look at Yamaha’s latest engine introductions including the mighty new 425 Offshore V8 outboard.

Our travel writers will be taking you out of your winter woes and into these two beautiful destinations; Katherine Stone takes us to scenic Mackinaw for a visit while Catherine Dook shares some Cowichan Bay folklore and photography. 

All this and much more in the December issue of Canadian Yachting magazine!

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.
