POTW: Wind, Women, and Water

Photo of the Week

The gathering earlier this month at Royal NS YC. Can you spot Daisy?

Feb 27, 2025

Our Photo of the Week comes to us from Halifax e-sailor, organizer, volunteer, and all-purpose cheerleader, Daisy Cobden who sent along this photo of the group at the first Wind, Women, and Water event that took place on Feb 12.

 The purpose of the initiative is to empower women in sailing by offering workshops and on-water clinics. This program creates more opportunities for women to connect, develop their skills, and gain confidence on the water. The entire effort is collaborative among Halifax yacht clubs, RNSYS, DYC, BBYC, and AYC.

As you can see our Photo of the Week submissions come from all over and hopefully from YOU. Any shot that catches a moment in or around boating is what we are after. Send your photos to onboard@kerrwil.com and please help us to understand what the shot means to you and who you and your boat are. And please add POTW in the subject line.  Thanks!

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
