Axopar Celebrates a Decade of Adventure, and Launches Axopar 29 Range

Axopar 29

Feb 8, 2024

Axopar boats are now seen in significant numbers in Canada with good reason. The Scandinavian dayboat ethos works for many boaters here as does the company’s “Adventure” positioning, which incorporates doing things as part of the boating experience.

The Adventure Collection was launched at the Düsseldorf boot24 boat show last month. This collection represents a dedication to the spirit of adventure and freedom that is at the core of Axopar, and its two partners in this endeavour, Sail Racing, and Jobe Watersports.

A whole range of fun gear

Highlighted items from the collection include a purpose built inflatable Axopar kayak for up to two persons, an Axopar SUP, an underwater scooter, waterproof bags that will have dedicated storage locations onboard and also fixable onto the SUP board and kayak to bring them with you securely on your adventures. The Sail Racing clothing will offer a range of high-quality garments like jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, caps and bags with a focus on durability, style and functionality.

Jan-Erik Viitala, Founding Partner at Axopar Boats, says, “My dream was to create a unique collaboration where we can offer top-of-the-line products to our global community of Axoparians and all our Axopar fans. This collaboration integrates clothing, water sports gear, and our boats.”

At the event, Axopar also presented the world premiere of the all-new Axopar 29 Cross Cabin and Sun-Top at boot Düsseldorf 2024. 

The new Axopar 29 will match the design and details of the Adventure collection, where each component complements the other. When ordering the gear together with the Axopar 29 from the factory this gear will be accompanied with an integrated air pump onboard, dedicated storage space for the underwater scooter with charging and dedicated locations for the bags to be stored securely and accessible.

Mobile Pumpout Serves Lower Mainland

Pumping out the holding tank after a weekend cruise is a job many of us would happily leave to someone else. A new mobile marine pump-out service enables Lower Mainland boaters to do just that.

Ray Weind, who operates Mr. Pumpout with son Derek, says the company aims to provide customers with a “hands-free” service as new sewage discharge regs mandate the use of holding tanks and forbid dumping of raw sewage within three miles of shorelines.

Steve Killing – Sailing These Rockets is Not For the Fainthearted

Steve Killing, the guest speaker at the annual Midland Huronia Museum Heritage Dinner, gave the attendees a unique perspective on vessel design on 03 May.  Beginning with 19th century ship design, he morphed the cod head and mackerel tail formula used by designers in the early 1800’s into the modern mono hull design, which uses exactly the opposite approach with narrow forward and broad after sections.  He then launched into some of his current projects, space age high tech catamarans, capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots.

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
