Our Photo of the Week comes our way from crew member Brad Boston who lives and sails mostly in Sarnia, ON.

Etchells 22 sailing has long been a Canadian thing. Dirk Kneulman made a name for himself for many sailing achievements but is perhaps best known for winning the Etchells World Championship and for his development of his family-built shop, Ontario Yachts, to be a world renowned Etchells builder.

Andrew Macrae sailed and built boats with Kneulman participating in many successes and is now continuing that winning heritage. Aboard Cruel Jane 2.0, a new boat Macrae built (a tip of the racing hat to the original Cruel Jane, a not long ago Kneulman-built hot Etchells )  Macrae and his crew showed their stuff leading the 2023 Etchells Worlds in Miami last month for the early races and ultimately finishing fourth.

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
