November Issue of PY is on its Way!

October 23, 2025

November is traditionally our Charter Issue and this year is no different. You’ll find an in-depth feature on a week-long charter in Tahiti, as Walt Whittaker explored the lagoon surrounding the tropical islands of Raiatea and Taha’a.

Regular Pacific Yachting contributor Marianne Scott visits bustling Canoe Cove and reflects on the marina’s storied past and looks toward its busy future. Boaters looking to have work done should consider visiting this “boater’s marina”.

In this issue, we also profile the Canadian Coast Guard’s hovercraft: CCGS Siyay, always a call away and ready to help in a boating emergency. Diane Selkirk visited Siyay’s base in Richmond and toured the hovercraft. She offers an inside scoop on how the ship is deployed.

Peter Robson jumps aboard the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350 and takes it for a spin around English Bay. Read his report on the boat on page 62.

You’ll also find our monthly racing and fishing columns, a feature on VHF antennas and more. Enjoy!

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
