Rail Yard Wake Park opened in 2013 headed up by Ian, Ross and Christine, long-time residents of East Gwillimbury and local business people who have a passion for water sports.

The company’s goal is to give everyone an opportunity to participate in board sports. You can learn, practice and improve your skills on either one of our 2 Sesitec System 2.0 straight-line cables. The beauty of having two cables is less wait times and plenty of water features for all levels. (They recommend calling ahead to book your time).

The cable system provides a safe, exciting, and inexpensive way to get more people involved in the board sports community. It also eliminates the need for a boat. The straight-line cable is by far the simplest and easiest way to learn to wakeboard. The upward pull enables effortless starts and has proven to provide the easiest learning curve for beginners with the assistance of our certified instructors. It also allows for more experienced riders to practice on water features and air tricks. Falling at the park is no big deal. A press of a button and the rider has the handle and is ready to go in no time. Having an operator/instructor along side you allows for one-on-one instruction.

The cable is not limited to just wakeboarding. Rail Yard offers wake skating, wake skiing and kneeboarding too. All the equipment needed is available for rent if you don’t have your own.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
