Boaters Care:  Offering a lifeline to one of our own.

Scott Taylor

Longtime boater/friend John Hanna sent along this note regarding Scott Taylor.

Scott Taylor has been a part of the boating community his whole life: as a racing sailor, financier, and in the last ten years as a yacht broker at Anchor Yacht Sales, where he’s helped almost 150 individuals and families find the boat of their dreams. Now Scott needs the community to be here for him.

Scott is fighting a cancer that requires him to have costly monthly treatments not covered by public health care. He has continued to work since his diagnosis, but the financial burden has become unbearable.

“Dealing with an illness like this is hard enough. Then you find out our system doesn’t cover the treatment costs. It shouldn’t be this way.” 

 Scott T.

One of Scott’s most recent clients has started a GoFundMe initiative with a bold goal of raising $50,000 to help with medical costs. Lori and others have been getting the word out that even a small donation will make a big difference.

“I’m so grateful to Scott for helping us find the boat that will make our dream of doing the Great Loop come true. Helping him with what he’s going though now just makes sense.”

Lori M.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
