Call for Experienced Editors and Proofreaders

June 14, 2018

The CPS-ECP Educational Department is looking for volunteers with editorial and proof reading skills to join our publishing team. Donate your valuable time and ease the workload on our existing volunteers. Volunteer salary and benefits will be the same as existing volunteers with the amazing feeling of seeing your work being used to advance our mission, vision and values.

There is a need to enhance the CPS-ECP Educational Department editorial and publishing processes. One of the ways that we can do this is to reduce the time taken to get our products to market with a few new volunteers. Course production needs to be speeded up while at the same time retaining direction, accuracy and content. At the same time we have to continue to keep the quality of our products as high as possible.

If you would like to join the publishing team please contact myself or ANEO J-R Lavergne, ANEO Brian Reis or ANEO Dave Bieman – our email addresses are in the National Directory.

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.
