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!

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
