Andy Adams Reviews Yamaha’s Latest WaveRunners

Yamaha Waverunner

Canadian Yachting magazine Editor Andy Adams has been hard at work reviewing Yamaha’s latest WaveRunners. The new VX Deluxe and VX Cruiser models feature greatly improved hull design for better ride and handling as well as Yamaha’s new RiDE dual throttle controls – a world’s first.

Controlled by an Intelligent Boat Control Unit, BCU, RiDE utilizes a patented bucket design that forces water out the sides of the bucket, thereby acting as a virtual rudder that keeps the watercraft tracking in the direction the driver intended. At any time, the driver can stop the boat very quickly while maintaining control and the new design also makes this the easiest personal watercraft ever for low-speed and docking. Look for these new models to debut at the Toronto International Boat Show in early 2015!

Hiding Out in Belize

By Zuzana Prochazka

Dodging holiday havoc in the tropics

Getting out of town was top-of-mind as it was only November and I was already saturated with Christmas traditions – the music, the glitter, the cookies, the sales. A week in relatively remote Belize was the siren song so we booked a 45-foot catamaran with The Moorings and packed our bags.
