CY Preview: Highlights of the December Canadian Yachting Magazine

December 2019 Cover

Nov 21, 2019

The December edition of Canadian Yachting has long been our annual Marine Electronics special. This year veteran cruiser and boating writer Rob MacLeod,” The Informed Boater” gives us, See What You Cannot See. This is a detailed rundown of the latest innovations and equipment to help when you arrive in the dark, get caught in the fog or find what looks like a good anchorage, but when you do not have recent chart information about the anchorage.

In this issue, we look at several electronic innovations that will help us accomplish just that – improve our ability to see what ‘normally’ we cannot see including new augmented reality and more.

Marianne Scott gives our readers a great way to experience the breath-taking B.C. coast by water without having a boat! She takes us aboard the Aurora Explorer to experience some of the more remote regions of British Columbia, where neither roads nor docks exist. Join her on the Aurora Explorer for a “Freight Boat Cruise.”

As always, we have exciting new boat reviews too. Katherine Stone sails the swift and elegant new Dufour 460 while Andy Adams and John Armstrong sea trial the innovative new Beneteau Flyer 32 day boat and also the dynamic new Leader 7.5 CC from Jeanneau.

All this and more in the December 2019 edition of Canadian Yachting magazine!

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
