Record Turnout for 2015 Rendez-vous Nautique

Rendezvous

 

The 12th edition of the Rendez-vousNautique, organized by the Montreal-based Aquanaute Training Centre, had one of its best records of attendance, with an estimate of over five hundred boats. The event took place once again on the beach of Oka National Park on the lake of Two Mountains, over a two-day period, on July 4th and 5th.

This year, many were the new attractions, among which the Discover Boating Hands-on skill training program on boats provided by Marine Daniel Masson, demo rides on new Mastercraft boats thanks to Desjardins Marine, Flyboard demos and New World rafting races and activities.

Classic event activities included the Ugliest Life Jacket Competition sponsored by Salus Marine Wear (now participants come prepared with incredibly old and ugly PFDs, in order to win a new jacket!), games, draws, exhibitors, Lazy-Life chill-out zone, DJ and MC entertainment.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
