POTW: Thornbury parts swap success

Parts Swap

May 26, 2022

Multiple Photos of the Week from this gear swap!

Thanks to Louise from Gyles Sails and Marine for catching us up on this weekend’s massive parts swap.

“After a Covid-induced hiatus of 2 years it was great to be back offering our annual Part Swap! The rainy weather didn’t deter our sailors. Boaters from Owen Sound, Medford, Thornbury and Collingwood came to sell, swap, or give away their boating wares. From dock lines to survival suits and everything in between! “

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!

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

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?).
