CY Survey winner has an interesting project on the go

CY Survey

July 20, 2021

1982 C&C 34 Charlie Boudreau’s 1982 C&C 34, currently being fitted with an electric auxiliary

Recently Canadian Yachting surveyed you, our readers to help us plan for our magazines and online digests in the year ahead. We were delighted to receive 650 detailed responses – you obviously have a lot to tell us! Please keep the feedback coming.

We held a random draw among the respondents and the winner of a Binnacle gift card is Charlie Boudreau of Kincardine. Interestingly and highly topical, Charlie is in the process of converting the auxiliary in his C&C 34 to an electric drive. Electric power is a topic that we know interests a lot of boaters these days, so we have asked Charlie to bring us up to speed (pub intended) on his conversion.

CYOB will bring you his story in the weeks ahead. Thanks Charlie and thanks to all of you who participated – we got some very helpful information.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
