Oct 27, 2022

The education department is making it easier for you and your new boater friends to find courses. With the boating season over for many of us, it is time to consider the topics that we may want to upgrade or skills in. We have just launched a new Quick View of Available Courses. This new web page links directly back to or main course calendar but will show you only courses that are available and enables you to simply click on the mode of delivery you would prefer. The table of contents is also available without having to log in to the system. This is a great way to invite other new boaters to take a course. Point your browser to https://boatingcoursesonline.ca

It is available in English and French. Please note also that we have 4 short seminars available with more to be added soon. Do you have an idea for a seminar that would be useful to new or experienced boaters in your community? Tell us about it.

RANGER TUGS R-27

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
