Our Featured article is The Other Virgin Islands. Mark Stevens shares a great story on his experiences in the less-visited United States Virgin Islands. For those with less boating experience or who want a deluxe experience, Zuzana Prochazka focuses on chartering with a captain and keeping it simple.

Also, in this issue of Canadian Yachting, Andy Adams reviews the exciting new Wellcraft 355 adventure yacht. Club racers will relish Katherine Stone’s introduction to the new J9 by J Boats.
In DIY, Matt Bera shares his experience planning an electric re-power of his 26’ Contessa. Matt’s boat is ready-to-go and he tells the story in Part 1 of this transition. Stay tuned for Part 2 by Andrew McDonald, in the follow-up story of his part in the re-power work on the Contessa coming in the December Issue of CY.
