Nutshell Sail

May 24, 2016

At Michele Stevens Sailloft on 2nd Peninsula near Lunenburg their slogan is “Sails for Small Ships and Tall Ships” and they are definitely walking the walk. Having made sails for the 130ft schooner Columbia and her sistership, they recently delivered a new mainsail for the 80ft schooner Argia which sails out of the historic port of Mystic, Connecticut. In the “Small Ship” department one of the smallest sails ever was just made for a Nutshell pram using lightweight spinnaker cloth. The loft is always busy serving the local sailing fleet with sails, cushions and canvas work.

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.
