With thanks to Sail Canada, here’s a collection of photos that are Olympic quality. Clearly our Photos of the Week!
Next week it’s back to more of your Photo of the Week! It’s your choice – funny, thrilling, crazy, beautiful – any photo taken from or around a boat. We need your shots to for the album; take them while the weather is fair. Send yours to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject.
September 11, 2025 Charles D Waterman is worth celebrating as one of Canada’s biggest boating promoters, President of the Board of Broad Reach Canada (helping underrepresented youth through onboard experience), hot crew on Spitfire and all round enthusiastic boat guy. He recently had a birthday but remains younger than ever! This Photo of the Week shot…
Aug 28, 2025 It was a very nice gesture from Charm Diamonds to build a romantic heart shaped photo op station at Chester Race Week.

Aug 14, 2025 We finally gave Andrew a day off. Here’s what he did: A weekend boating adventure: trailered to Humber Bay, a day cruising through the islands, a picnic, a beach visit and then home. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. 🚤 ☀️ 🏝️ Send along your shots (fb and ig work too)…
July 24, 2025 When two sailors get married in Toronto, you can bet the weekend starts with a regatta. Sarah Douglas (Olympian, Pan-Am winner and National Team member) and Lance Fraser (Canada Cup and many more) raced across the harbour with their sailing friends before throwing the ultimate island bash — steel drums, Caribbean bites,…

While the flotilla aspect was quite small, it was very kind of some of the participants to make their way up river and show support. Some of…

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.

“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.
