The Chris-Craft Launch 38

Chris Craft RunnerAs for boat reviews? Not to worry, we feature two powerboat reviews for you; the dynamic, affordable and highly versatile new Antares 27 by Beneteau. This line of family cruisers is new to North America and with twin Mercury 200 outboards, (the brand-new V6 designs that are part of the biggest new product introduction in Mercury’s history) we were among the first to drive and review an Antares. We also have a review on the absolutely elegant Chris-Craft Launch 38, with twin MerCruiser 8.2 L engines and the Heritage Edition trim with beautiful teak and stunning deep sapphire blue hull.

Motors, and more! We take you inside to have a special look at Yamaha’s latest engine introductions including the mighty new 425 Offshore V8 outboard.

Our travel writers will be taking you out of your winter woes and into these two beautiful destinations; Katherine Stone takes us to scenic Mackinaw for a visit while Catherine Dook shares some Cowichan Bay folklore and photography. 

All this and much more in the December issue of Canadian Yachting magazine!

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.
