Fleming Rendezvous

Mystic Dancer

May 24, 2016

Anne and Bill Knorr, the current owners of Majestic Dancer were taking part in the 30th anniversary of Fleming Yachts at the Fleming Rendezvous which was held at the Port Sidney Marina on Vancouver Island.

CY’s Bob Nicoll was invited on board and treated to a tour of their Beautiful 53 foot motoryacht. Bob and his wife, Trish, finally settled on the upper deck where they listened to Anne and Bill talk about the day that Bill took the plunge, May 17, 2013 to be exact, and took possession of the Fleming in Portland Oregon. Two days later with a hired skipper on board they moved Majestic Dancer down the Columbia River and finally to her new home in Anacortes.

Anne and Bill charter their yacht through Anacortes Yacht Charters. If you’re looking for something very special in yacht charters them Majestic Dancer is the yacht for you.

Unicorn Crew

This Ain’t No Cruise, Sister!

The Unicorn is truly a ship like no other. This gaff-rigged, topsail schooner is home to Sisters Under Sail, a leadership and confidence building program for girls and women created and run by Dawn Santamaria. Dawn was inspired to create this program after observing her four daughters grow up sailing on a ship. She noticed an increase in their confidence and leadership skills and attributed this to their competencies on the ship. Dawn was determined to create an all women crew, “we better be leaders to teach women leadership” and by 2007 the ship was all female. I was given an opportunity to hop onto the ship and become one of the crew for three days while sailing the ship from the Brockville Tall Ship festival to the Redpath Waterfront Festival in Toronto.

These new carburetors from Sierra are built to original factory specs, and are not rebuilt or remanufactured products. Housings are cast from corrosion resistant aluminium and machined using Sierra’s own specially engineered tooling. Components are anodised and carefully assembled to provide season after season of reliable performance.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
