Arthurs Family Dinghy

May 9, 2019

Abbie, Ella, Jennifer and Michael

Meet the Arthurs Family of Penetanguishene, Ontario.  Abbie, Ella, Jennifer and Michael and their pooch Bailey head out from Hindson Marina in their cuddy every chance they get.  They love the many beautiful anchorages on Southern Georgian Bay especially their favourite spot, Giants Tomb. 

The family began boating in 2010 and they are hooked.  In this photo, the Arthurs family had a fun day gunkholing at Big Sand Bay, Christian Island.

The Photo of the Week (POTW) has been running here in CYOB for some time now. It has never been twice the same – you keep coming up with photos to share. We get shots of all kinds of things in and around boats – lots of sunsets and beautiful scenery, interesting boats, crazy signs, pets. The list goes on and we love it. So please keep sending your photos in. It’s boating season any moment now and our POTW inbox is ready for your shots at CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com

Now we have a new angle – people. Would you like to be featured in our Boater Profile? Let’s get some pictures and the stories behind them – who in your family is onboard?

Where do you go? What adventures have you had? By sending your info to us at CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com ;we will get to meet some interesting Canadians who love their boats. Good idea? Absolutely!

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.
