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.

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.
