Angus Buchanan at North Sails’ newly expanded Halifax store tells us they have taken on the Hobie line of kayaks. The new models include both paddle and the innovative “Mirage drive” boats which have proved popular with anglers.  In addition to the kayak line they also carry paddle boards and a very extensive line of Hobie accessories. North Sails will be showing all their new products at the Halifax International Boat Show, February 18 to 21.

Heritage Pt 1 – Historical Tall Ships Tour Provides Opportunity To Revisit Great Lakes History

This year there will be several events commemorating the 200th anniversary of the second year of the War of 1812.  The Huronia Museum’s focus will be the war on Lakes Huron and Michigan, as the struggle for control of these lakes had the greatest impact on Huronia.  The Museum’s newest exhibit “The Birth of Simcoe County and the War of 1812″ introduces the subject and shows the impact of the War on the founding of the town of Penetanguishene.  This display gives a good background on the part that the local area played in the events that took place on the Lakes before, during and after the War.  The tall ships will also visit the Lakes to commemorate the Anniversary and will re-enact naval battles on the Lakes.  Some of these

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.

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.
