POTW: Marc Gets Important Award!!

Marc Robic Flag

Mar 27, 2025

Our Photo of the Week comes from the sunshine of BVI where Montrealer and frequent Canadian Boating contributor, Marc Robic, is enjoying a well deserved vacay. He sent this clearly delighted photo celebrating his honour as one of Rum Runner’s top fans.

Rum Runner is a guy that goes from boat to boat in Gorda Sound, or can be hailed via VHF channel 72, and come to your moored boat on a Zodiac. The delivery helps you enjoy the BVI warmth with their homemade frozen rum drinks. Also known for Drake, the Dog, that accompanies his master, Jim.

We have added a shot of the delivery process, complete with Drake, the dog!

We’d love to have your shots too. Please send them along to onboard@kerrwil.com and add POTW in the subject line.  Thanks!

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
