Big Boats at Boot

Bow BulbRe: Photo of the Week – September 28

Thank you for bringing attention to bow bulbs. Actually we designed the bulb for that vessel, the Drettmann explorer yacht.

We do more bulb work on small craft than anyone in North America. With over 60 bulbs retrofitted and over a dozen new model tested and built craft, we have some of the most advanced technology. Some extreme success cases have shown a 3-knot increase after the bulb.

Best regards,

Re: Sarnia Yacht Club Mentorship Program

Morning John,
I thought I would share this note I got from our Junior sailor yesterday. Arrived after he read our article Rewards of Mentorship in CYOB https://canadianboating.ca/news-and-events/current/4175-cyob-inbox-september-28-2017 :

Brian this is incredible!
Thanks for the kind words. I meant exactly what I said, you and the rest of the crew have been a huge part of making me who I am today. Hope I can continue to make you proud. – Mike
Thanks again
Brian Gilmour

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
