Canadian Yachting April 2022

Apr 6, 2022

We are so excited to be sending you the April Issue of CY because it means that Spring is around the corner, and we can soon get back to where we want to be – on the water!

The featured article in CY April 2022 focuses on Spring Launch and the all-important topic, Boating Safety. Read about the newest products on the market, plus how to wear and fit your Personal Floatation Device. This read is one more tool in your toolbox to ensure fun times on the water!

Also, in this issue of Canadian Yachting, the Power Review is the beautiful Schaefer 400 Sport and the Sail Review is the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380. Andy Adams also jumps onboard and shares his hands-on experience with Zipwake Interceptors. Read it to learn all about this state-of-the-art trim control system for your boat.

A great pre-season read is Andrew McDonald’s “All System Go”. Andrew shares his expertise on what systems checks should be done before casting off…oh, and don’t forget your shore-power cords!

Also, Marianne Scott takes us to Ladysmith, B.C. and John Morris “Crosses the Line” as usual.

Plus, Canadian Power Squadron offers great boating stories in The Port Hole, their featured supplement. Speaking of CPS, this not-for-profit organization offers Boating Courses for everyone. Consider taking one before boating season!

All this and more is in the exciting April 2022 Spring issue of Canadian Yachting magazine. Enjoy!
