June 19th Cover

May 9, 2019

The June 2019 issue of Canadian Yachting magazine is focused on the summer and some of the ways you can create more boating memories with family and friends.

Canadian Yachting readers are very fortunate to share in this great lifestyle and the June issue is a reminder that boating doesn’t have to mean owning a big yacht. In this June 2019 issue, you will find a number of more practical and more accessible boating stories.

Our boat reviews include the Yamaha WaveRunner FX SVHO three-seater personal watercraft, a family-focused Four Winns 180 HD and for the fisherman and outdoor enthusiasts in the group, a Wellcraft 242 F; three different boats each of which can deliver an excellent boating experience at a reasonable price.

Also in this issue we feature a wonderful and accessible destination, Port Severn on the amazing Trent Severn Waterway. Then there is something a little more aspirational; a waterfront look at the city of Chicago. Also, the eccentric Galley Guys are back and on the Rideau Canal system visiting the Scheuermann Winery.

As you begin your 2019 boating season, check out the practical, hands-on information about being a Good Samaritan on the water, join us for a look at Kingston Anchors and consider our information about marine fuel and the perils of using ordinary gasoline containing ethanol. It’s all in another fine issue of Canadian Yachting.

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.
