CY Survey winner has an interesting project on the go

CY Survey

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.

Hiding Out in Belize

Dodging holiday havoc in the tropics

Getting out of town was top-of-mind as it was only November and I was already saturated with Christmas traditions – the music, the glitter, the cookies, the sales. A week in relatively remote Belize was the siren song so we booked a 45-foot catamaran with The Moorings and packed our bags.
