Heads up! Canadian Yachting April 2023

Mar 8, 2023

Get ready to launch your summer with the April 2023 issue of Canadian Yachting magazine!

Our lead Feature is “27 Under 27”, an open-minded and irreverent review of 27 new boats all under 27 feet in length and with a focus on the most popular and the most innovative – sail, gas or electric!

Of course, we also bring you two new boat reviews. The Power Review is the beautiful new Regal LS 36 day-boat and our Sail Review is the Dufour 37, their new compact cruiser that’s all about space and power.

Then, proving that Wine and Water Do Mix, Marianne Scott shares her recent cruise through the Salish Sea’s Wine Islands aboard Cascadia, a 138-foot catamaran for just 10 passengers with a crew that included a gourmet chef. You don’t need to be an accomplished sailor to enjoy this cruising experience!

At the extreme end of the sport is a Special Feature by John Morris that details the exciting experiences of Canadian entrepreneur Scott Shawyer’s inaugural venture to compete in the grueling Vendee Globe race. Some might call him impulsive or even crazy, but the far more appropriate adjectives would label Scott as Driven, Competitive and Thorough. New to sailing in the Ocean, on his maiden outing of 3000 miles, Canada Ocean Racing’s IMOCA 60 broke the doublehanded class record by more than eight hours.

As always, the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons offers great boating articles in The Port Hole, their featured supplement.

All this and more in the April issue of Canada’s Boating Magazine. We hope this inspires you to have your best boating season ever. Enjoy!

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
