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!

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
