CPS-ECP Staff Retirement

Alice Hinton

Aug 9, 2017

Alice Hinton has informed CPS-ECP that she will be retiring on August 31, 2017 after more than 17 years of service.

Since February of 2000, Alice has been our Bookkeeper at the National Office of Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons and has also provided on going bookkeeping support to the CPS Foundation. Over that time period the organization has seen many changes, a number of different staff members at the National Office and hundreds of different volunteers at the national, district and squadron levels. However, through it all, the organization has had the good fortune of having its books completed efficiently and effectively by Alice.

Throughout the years Alice has also worked with many Financial Officers at the national, district and squadron levels. She always provided helpful support to them all in multiple ways. For many of them, when they were new to their positions, Alice could always be counted on to help them and guide them to perform their duties.

Alice will be missed by all of us as a member of the National Office crew. We thank her for her many years of service to CPS-ECP and we wish her all of the best in her retirement – Fair Winds and Calm Seas Always.

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.
