Reader Martin Soldat was surprised to see this hot boat gassing up at a local station. Note that the careful owners took their shoes off to respect that stunning gelcoat!
Martin didn’t notice whether they purchased any windshield washer fluid.
Seen any boats at any gas stations near you? Or any other great boating photos – kids, pets, sunsets? Send them along to our Photo of the Week at cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line.
October 9, 2025 Our waterways are hardly full, but there still seems to sometimes be too little room. The ‘why’ is simple – some boaters don’t appear to have the necessary respect for other boaters. It’s a minority, mind you, but that aggravating tiny faction is getting on some people’s nerves and creating a bad…
October 9, 2025 Midland ON is emerging as Canada’s home for restored wooden 5.5M boats. These boats were once an Olympic class and have the graceful lines that metre boats share. Just one problem – many are old and abandoned but thanks to keeners in Midland, they are being reclaimed. This boat obviously needs a…
September 25, 2025 At Toronto Hydroplane & Sailing, like many, many other spots across the country women are taking a much more prominent place in leadership, learning, and sailboat racing. Clara Pasieka organized a first-ever women’s regatta at her club last year and the club named the Clara Cup to honour her initiative. Last year she lost…
September 11, 2025 Charles D Waterman is worth celebrating as one of Canada’s biggest boating promoters, President of the Board of Broad Reach Canada (helping underrepresented youth through onboard experience), hot crew on Spitfire and all round enthusiastic boat guy. He recently had a birthday but remains younger than ever! This Photo of the Week shot…
Aug 28, 2025 It was a very nice gesture from Charm Diamonds to build a romantic heart shaped photo op station at Chester Race Week. However, they might have had a different expectation for the set-up – happy amorous couples gazing fondly into each other’s eyes or at least holding hands. Daisy Cobden sent along…
Aug 14, 2025 We finally gave Andrew a day off. Here’s what he did: A weekend boating adventure: trailered to Humber Bay, a day cruising through the islands, a picnic, a beach visit and then home. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. 🚤 ☀️ 🏝️ Send along your shots (fb and ig work too)…

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!
Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.
“Three, two, one, tack!”
I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
