POTW: Four fun!

POTW Mystic

Sept 26, 2019

This week’s Photo of the Week brings us a boat we may see more of. This Mystic is a Florida performance boat – there’s only one dealer in Canada, Sudbury’s The Car Lot Etc.

Canadian Yachting team member Sarah from Midland, ON, sent the shot along. “We were at The Waubic when this shot was taken.  The Waubic sits between Trent-Severn Lock 43 and the historic Big Chute Marine Railroad at Lock 44.”

The Photo of the Week (POTW) features shots of all kinds of things in and around boats – lots of sunsets and beautiful scenery, interesting boats, crazy signs, pets and increasingly great personal portraits.

Send your shots to CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the heading. Please tell us who is in the shot, where it was taken and a bit about you. Thanks a bunch.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

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.
