POTW: Beaming with Pride

Zach and Tim

Mar 9, 2022

This week you get two photos that came to us just recently from the Martin 242 Fleets in BC. The shots tell the same story – new owners posing beside their new to them Martin 242s. You can see the delight in their smiles, but you probably also can register their eyes glancing to the spring season knowing that they have a tough challenge ahead, learning to sail in a very competitive one-design fleet.

All these new owners bring lots of experience to the endeavour and we share their anticipation of a great season ahead.

Zach and Tim Zach Thompson and his father, Tim, of Port Coquitlam bought Polar Bear #43 on Feb 13.

Got a Photo of the Week for us? A new boat is always a great shot but please send us the photos you like from your album. Kids, boats, destinations, crazy antics or funny signs. Or beautiful sunsets, of course. Our address is cyonboard@kerrwil.com. Please put POTW in the subject line.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
