POTW: Toes up if you’re having fun

July 8, 2021

After being our fearless leader and publisher since CYOB kicked off, Greg Nicoll, handed over the reins to our new boss, Jill Snider, just last week. To celebrate her ascendancy, Jill has been granted Photo of the Week with a great shot!

“On the left is my son Nolan Snider, age 8, the right is his big cousin Devon Kors. It was taken on Gloucester Pool (between Big Chute & Lock 45) a few weekends ago. Both were new to tubing and had a blast.”

That’s how POTW works, except you don’t need the connections. Any boating shot could be the next Photo of the Week – kids, dogs in lifejackets, sunsets, sunrises…you name it.
If it was taken on, near or from a boat, we love it. Send your POTW shot to CYonboard@kerrwil.com and it could be our next featured shot – we need lots so send yours now!

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.
