Vaxed? Ready to travel? Especially to see some new boats! This sumptuous Jeanneau Yachts 60 will make its North American debut at the Annapolis Show this October. By then, please please please, we will be able to cross the border and visit Marylandfor this annual event.

The Jeanneau Yachts 60 allows numerous choices, such as an arch, a hardtop, an exterior galley, releasable forestay, furling mast, with which you would transform her from a sporty “mediterranean” yacht to a fully fledged offshore cruiser for longer voyages. All these combinations available make the 60 a true semi-custom yacht. Inside, 19 possible layouts! The JY 60 can be split into four living areas, each offering multiple options: the forepeak, the forward cabins, the salon with the forward galley, and the aft cabins.

First, the forepeak: three versions are possible, with a large sail locker, a skipper cabin, or a sixth cabin. Next, two versions of the forward area are possible: an owners’ cabin or two cabins, each with a double berth. The bulkhead that divides the two forward cabins can be slid forward into a dedicated storage space creating one open space. Then one berth can be transformed into a sofa, creating a suite on demand. Three possible layouts are available for the starboard side of the salon: a version with a sofa and adjacent chart table, a lateral twin bunk cabin, or an “open plan” version that could accommodate two free-standing armchairs. Finally, the aft living area can be configured as either an owner’s cabin or as two cabins, featuring one double berth on starboard, and a twin bunk to port.

Two wood colors are offered: Teak or oak, each with matching floorboards. The upholstery selection includes five new fabrics and five leather options by Foglizzo. Three different cabin styles are available – Sand, Affogato, and

Royal Blue – to personalize the headboards and trim around the beds to create a unique interior design.

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.

Bayfield Marine Turns 40 with Big April Events

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.
