In response to last issued POTW of Ketch 22 from Hilton Beach, ON, we received a couple of good ones:

Mike Vollmer sent along pun-ny name, “No Gust, No Glory” and promises us a photo from Chippewa ON.

From Hamilton, Tom Roesslein sent along HELOC which, as it turns out, stands for Home Equity Line Of Credit. Seems appropriate.

More on Severn II
Collision avoidance is the paramount responsibility of any vessel underway whether racing or not. Basic rules concerning right of way have to be considered when undertaking any maneuver and still rank behind avoiding collision if possible whether in the right or not.

In the Severn II and Yquem incident it is very fortunate no one was injured or worse. The eights are very heavy vessels with powerful rigs and carry a huge amount of momentum. Vessel collisions are caused by equipment failure or human error. The latter is easily managed.

POTW: Covered Portage perfect

It was a trip 2 or 3 years ago, and all 4 boats traveled up to the Killarney area in a flotilla–Sea’chelle, Unwinder, Gillian, and After Sailin’. Perfect weather and beautiful scenery, which some of the group had never seen. Five of us climbed up to the very top of that ridge above Covered Portage. You can just see my shoe in the foreground.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
