Our Photo of the Week comes our way from crew member Brad Boston who lives and sails mostly in Sarnia, ON.

Etchells 22 sailing has long been a Canadian thing. Dirk Kneulman made a name for himself for many sailing achievements but is perhaps best known for winning the Etchells World Championship and for his development of his family-built shop, Ontario Yachts, to be a world renowned Etchells builder.

Andrew Macrae sailed and built boats with Kneulman participating in many successes and is now continuing that winning heritage. Aboard Cruel Jane 2.0, a new boat Macrae built (a tip of the racing hat to the original Cruel Jane, a not long ago Kneulman-built hot Etchells )  Macrae and his crew showed their stuff leading the 2023 Etchells Worlds in Miami last month for the early races and ultimately finishing fourth.

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.
