What Plan? Your Plan

CPS Plan

Apr 25, 2019

Much of what the Planning Committee does is reliant on the reports from the Priority Leaders of our Strategic Plan as to the implementation of the Goals as we move forward. The Educational Department has been particularly constant in its reporting.

During the weekend of the National Spring Educational Meeting, we heard many presentations and comments on the way this Department is helping to keep up the momentum as we go through the 4th year of the Plan.

Brian Reis reporting on Goal #2 which refers to Seminars and short Courses, states “I’m really happy with the way Squadrons have come on board”. On Goal #3 referring to the development of new shorter Courses and Seminars, Brian states “We are moving along at a steady rate. We have a multi-stage editorial process that may seem cumbersome, but it is necessary, and seminars are sharing it with our core courses. If we can produce seminars at the current rate, we’ll be in good shape. The fact that the Squadrons are for the most part on board with us is very helpful”. These statements are really encouraging, and prove these goals are on the right track and are doing what we planned they would do.

Also during this Meeting, the Membership Committee combined in a workshop with the Educational group to determine how to blend in efforts to lead the students towards membership, with Course content/material. The suggestions that came from this forum will be studied and shared and hopefully will result in some meaningful changes.

We will soon be looking towards an outline for our next 5 year Plan, and while it is realized that some items in our current plan will be ongoing and never actually complete, we will be looking ahead to the future direction of our Organization. Your Planning Committee welcomes any and all input from our members. As has been said many times – we are all in it together!

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.
