Meeting Marc
As you loyal OnBoard readers know from reading his articles and exploring his videos, our contributor Marc Robic is an astonishingly multi-talented boater. He has written on topics from refrigeration to electric heads to winterizing and he delighted us with his striking scale models, hand made in the basement during cold winter months.

As you loyal OnBoard readers know from reading his articles and exploring his videos, our contributor Marc Robic is an astonishingly multi-talented boater. He has written on topics from refrigeration to electric heads to winterizing and he delighted us with his striking scale models, hand made in the basement during cold winter months. He has also shared cruising adventures and advice – this Quebecois has really done a lot of things with and around boats. And btw, he has created many of those same articles for our sibling Canadian Yachting à bord in French!
Notwithstanding that Marc is one of our most prolific writers, while he and I had exchanged hundreds of emails, we had just few phone calls and never met in person. His writing debuted during covid and has since accelerated, but chit-chatting was never part of our thing.
Until now. As you can read in this article, Marc is an extremely accomplished, self-taught, model builder and he offered to build one for my family. Wow.
Then, in July the model was complete, but in the Montreal home where Marc and Claude reside. Simple answer, meet halfway in Kingston. For a wonderful lunch at Kingston YC. The sun shone, Marc and Claude were charming and reinforced that Marc is absolutely the boater we look to for information, solutions, and patient craftsmanship.
We love our model and always will. Thanks Marc.
