RCR brings in new 34 O

Back Cove

Feb 14, 2019

RCR operates primarily in Youngstown, Buffalo and elsewhere on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie but often comes to this side of the border to represent its boat and brokerage lines. Back Cove is one of the lines it sells; since there is no Canadian dealer, they are happy to receive boaters from here.

The boats are built in Maine and reflect that maritime look admirably. The company is a sister to Sabre, a reasonably well-known brand in these waters.

Back Cove Back Cove Yachts introduced the brand new 34O (O is for Outboard) at the 2018 fall boat shows, powered by a pair of all white Yamaha 300’s (optional 350 hp Yamaha or Suzuki’s) and the result was the award for “Best New Powerboat under 35 feet”. The entirely new hull fitted with standard bow thruster and designed specifically for outboard propulsion offers cruise and top end speeds approximately 10 knots faster than the traditional single diesel Back Cove. This cockpit is meant for entertaining with an aft facing seat that converts into a helm deck U-shaped dinette or second berth. The standard diesel generator and cabin A/C below deck coupled with the spacious island berth, separate head and shower remind us that this Back Cove is still intended for cruising.

RCR LogoRCR often says that some of its happiest customers are Back Cove owners.  And now offers two Back Cove choices in the popular 32-34′ size range with the addition of their latest models, the diesel-powered 32 and now the 34o, with twin outboards.  Accommodations are the same for both models but the owners may choose which type of cruising suits them best.  The 32 offers longer range and fuel economy and the 34o provides more speed, hitting just over 40 knots. 

The production line is up and running and with over thirty 34O hulls on order, it is already a runaway success. RCR is a long time Back Cove dealer and has a 30 & 32 in stock and a couple of those 34Os on order, one already sold.

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.
