Mark Collett Joins Canadian Yachting

alt

After 12 years at Pacific Yachting magazine, most recently as Publisher, Mark Collett will be joining Canadian Yachting's team to head up the Western Canadian division and develop a truly national Canadian boating magazine.

"Mark's solid experience in both the boating and publishing industries will expand our efforts to provide Canada with the national reach and scope it should have," commented Elizabeth Kerr, Canadian Yachting's publisher.

In order to do this, Canadian Yachting is also pleased to announce that Duart Snow, long-time marine editor, will be heading up the west coast editorial team to deliver better-focussed editorial while effectively targeting the Pacific boating market.

Through specific efforts, Canadian Yachting's present circulation and distribution will be increased and local advertisers will be able to take advantage of stronger, locally written editorial and more qualified readers in their target marketplace while gaining national exposure as well.

In addition to Duart Snow, Stephen Fountaine will be on board working with national marine and lifestyle clients.

"We see this alliance as a great opportunity to finally build a truly national Canadian boating magazine that will have the scope and scale to compete not only here in Canada but globally as a 'must use' brand for those companies that want a qualified paid audience.

"With an experienced publishing team and an editorial platform second to none, both in print and digitally, I am thrilled to be working with a magazine that has consistently delivered quality editorial to an audited circulation. These are key ingredients for success", said Collett.

Kerrwil was founded in 1964 and is Canada's oldest privately held publishing company. Canadian Yachting, established in 1971, is Canada's oldest national boating magazine with the largest paid, home-delivered, audited distribution in the country.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

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.
