POTW: April 12, 2018

POTW

 

Apr 12, 2018

Our Photo of the Week is actually a Video of the Week that came our way from Rick Shaddock of Squamish Yacht Club. What a venue.

Here’s what Rick writes:

I’ve been shooting the SOAR races in video and still for Inflow Express (Friday afternoon race to Squamish from Porteau Cove) and official race day (Saturday) since 2003. I edit about a ten-minute video set to music for the Saturday night on a large screen and under the stars. Example here. 15 years of video and still now.

Please send us yours!! The POTW rules are simple. It has to be your shot, taken in and around boats or from a boat. Or anything else boat-ish. Or any great photo of docks, ports, winches, engine parts, people, and pets on boats, of course. You shoot it, we’ll include it.

Send your photos to cyonboard@kerrwil.com with POTW in the subject and we’ll get them into the publication soon! Thanks in advance.

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.
