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

Scott Taylor

Scott Taylor at the helm in Port Credit

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.”

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.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

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. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
