The Cranchi T36 at boot in 2018

From the lakes of Lombardy in Italy comes a boat for the owner looking fro a distinctive looking multi purpose sport cruiser. Cranchi bills it as a Crossover; its trawler hull and the generously proportioned deckhouse offer plenty of room and living space; the powerful Z-drive with two 330-hp diesel engines offers speeds of up to 40 knots.

Cranchi uses the slogan “The rationality of a trawler. The thrill of a cruiser.” The judges at the huge boot boat show, held in Dusseldorf recently, liked the concept enough to name it the European Boat of the Year in its class.

Cranchi t36The T36 Crossover was on display at the recently concluded Toronto Boat Show imported to this country by Cranchi Yacht Canada.

Cranchi T36President of the Canadian operation is Denis Poliseno, whose Italian-Canadian background makes him the right guy for this boat. Denis started working in his father’s boat repair business in 1960 and has been active in the business ever since.

We saw the boat at boot last year (2018) when it debuted to much applause and took some photos of its sleek lines and details then. The boats details have changed a bit and there are some customizable specifics that you can work out with Denis. Price tag – around C$650K+, a price made possible by the Canadian currency’s stability against the Euro.

Seventeen halls full of water related exhibits, perhaps a dozen of them full of boats and equipment. You might go to Miami or Annapolis to see the boat of your dreams, but you still wouldn’t get the same overwhelming scene. It might be because the whole show is inside that it is such an exciting event.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
