Question: When does fabricating an aluminum boat become an Art Form.

Answer: When it’s in the hands of Kristi Benwell and her staff at Liquid Metal Marine Ltd.

Liquid Metal Marine was part of the team that built the 26 foot Express Cruiser ( July 28 Onboard article).
The fabricator, who Kristi work for left the area in 2000, so, Kristi saw this as an opportunity to start her own shop in Sidney British Columbia and has been at it for the past 16 years.

I can’t say enough about this dedicated team of certified fabricators and apprentices building vessels from 9 feet to 35 to in both standard mono hulls and rigid hull inflatable designs.

If you’re looking for something special in a recreational boat or you want a commercial boat built for your specific needs, then have a look at the Liquid Metal’s website.

The Save Our Sound Rendezvous was staged by the Future of Howe Sound Society to bring attention to the potential impact of the mine, on the west side of Howe Sound, as well as other proposed industrial and residential developments that could affect the sound’s future as a boating, tourism and recreational destination on Vancouver’s doorstep, said Ruth Simons, the society’s executive director.

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.
