This is September’s photo of the month!

What do you think is happening in this picture? Looks like two people jumping off ship and one diving head first straight into it, interesting illusion isn’t it? Submitted to us by Carolyn Wood, this photo was taken by Pat Gillies at Port Elgin as they were entering the harbour on their CS30. This photo shows some young people jumping off the north pier as their boat passed them. Using a long lens and compressing the image gives the illusion that they were jumping off ship!

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.
