Looking for a stylish 38′ ocean-friendly motorboat? You need look no further than a Cape Sable from Cape Island Cruisers of Nova Scotia. The design is based on the time-tested Cape Islander workboat concept. The result is an elegant and safe boating-home designed for a generation of Maritimers looking to cruise the ocean waters at their doorstep.

Veteran sailor Tom Gallant says, “She’ll make a fine live-aboard — makes no fuss going through the water at ten knots, sips just over a gallon an hour, giving her a cruising range of nearly a thousand miles. You could ‘steam’ to Bermuda. She’s the kind of boat a retired sailor would love. The more experience you’ve had on the water, the more you’ll appreciate her virtues.”

The HeadThe first of this new line of production-built cruisers was launched by Dagley’s Boatworks at East LaHave, Nova Scotia last summer. Christened Stanley after famous Cape Islander workboat builder Stanley Greenwood, this prototype is now available for purchase.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
