POTW: The Wedding Regatta

July 24, 2025

When two sailors get married in Toronto, you can bet the weekend starts with a regatta. Sarah Douglas (Olympian, Pan-Am winner and National Team member) and Lance Fraser (Canada Cup and many more) raced across the harbour with their sailing friends before throwing the ultimate island bash — steel drums, Caribbean bites, and a sunset so golden it felt like their homelands of Barbados and Bermuda came to Lake Ontario.

So what makes a great Photo of the Week?  It’s up to you send along any picture involving boats, people, power or sail and we will make it the POTW. Send the shots along to onboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line!

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination.
