Thanks

Hi John

I have been meaning to say thanks for your supportive article for our Olympic sailors earlier this week! (CYOB August 12)

Thanks a ton!

Well done

Not sure this is a valid forum for comment, but I was disappointed with the available media coverage of sailing. Not a prime time featured sport, i guess, and on the cbc app I had to search for coverage. Rather than any highlights of Canadians, it was a 5 hour stream which is not easy to search for coverage. Is there a way to advocate for better coverage in the Paris Olympics?

Nevertheless, congratulations to the Canadian team. From what I did see, it was good competition, which makes for great racing, so well done!

Cheers

Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
