POTW: Put out the Fenders

Fenders

May 12, 2022

There are two POTWs this time. The reason? Guilt. We are picking up the first one from the internet – that’s a cheap source of great boat photos but, to be honest, it’s almost too easy. Still this shot is impossible to resist.

To compensate for our web addiction issues, we are featuring a second Photo of the Week from The Martin 242 fleet in BC announcing their Deck Padding Contest. As everyone knows, the coamings on a small boat can be hard on the tush, so the ingenious Martin sailors are looking for a way to ease the pain. Their contest wraps up at the Martin NAs in Nanaimo on Juy 3 and we will look forward to seeing the creative results.

Now the boats are in the water and it’s YOUR TURN to take the Photo of the Week. Anything boat related – kids, dogs, bloopers, signs laughs – you pick. Send your shots to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line. Provide a little back story and we’re good to go; your shot will be the photo of the week!

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.
