Kincardine Harbour on a Calm, Slightly Foggy Night.

Oct 12, 2023

This beautiful shot comes from David Bannister who resides in Kincardine. The nearly 150 year old lighthouse landmark is at top left.

This past summer was our first trip to the North Channel with Unsalted – a 1991 Nordic Tug 32 that we just acquired in December of last year, although we have made the trip more than a dozen times on our 35 foot C&C sailboat. We recently switched to the trawler.

“I am a photographer and painter among other things (my image is on the cover of PORTS for Lake Huron, etc.). I have given presentations to Power Squadron on cruising the North Channel starting this year and have begun instructing there as well on introductory boating.”

You too can be a famous photographer by sending your photos to or POTW mailbox.  Boating shots of any sort – kids, pets, signs, ports, sunsets etc. etc.  Just send your shots onboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line please.  Looking forward to seeing yours!

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
