December 4, 2025 Several things happened on the same day, lighting up a giant bulb over my head. First, I came across an article on the Greavette Streamliner, published in our magazine in November 2018 . Then, on the news, the CBC was visiting the Chapman Ice-cream factory in Markdale, ON and a pre-fab home builder…
December 4, 2025 I knew my friend Peeter had sold his sailboat and was looking for a new powerboat. Nonethless, I was surprised when he posted this on Facebook. Could this be the one? Your shots are our Photo of the week. Send them along to photo@opmediagroup.ca . This one will be tough to beat!
November 20, 2025 When the budget passed on Tuesday, the burdensome “luxury” tax was removed and the people involved with boating were relieved. Why are boats important, you might well ask. First, there is a whole range of direct economic benefit. Beyond the people who sell boats, right across the country there are mechanics and…

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.

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:
