Release your inner boating Shakespeare

Shakespeare

Apr 9, 2020

The story is that the Bard wrote his best work while quarantined. Well, this is your chance to shine.

It’s likely no surprise that with boats sitting un-launched, social events on hold and regattas all postponed, the editorial team at CYOB is eager for fresh content. That’s where YOU come in. Tell us how you and your boating friends are remaining patient without going far from home. This is a great idea for us to receive news from all over the country and share it with our (sadly) captive audience.

It could be a quick video like this striking demo prepared by our team member Jill who has parked her family boat for the duration. Her skill is evident.

So bring it on! Could be a video like Jill’s or a written piece about how you are chilling and looking out the window. It could be your kids’ drawings; in fact a CYOB kid project would be a great time wasting project for frantic parents!! Or how about that poem you’ve been storing up for a crazy occasion. This certainly fits that description.

Fire away. Our address is cyob@kerrwil.com and we will be excited to read, see and share your inspiration. Be the boating creative genius you know you are.

You May Have to Take It With You

It’s an old joke; you can’t take it with you but when it comes to gasoline and your boat, there is a concern that some people already have to take it with them – to their dinghy, their fishing boat, their summer place, wherever you need fuel on the water, but where no one is selling it.

The media is currently buzzing about most provinces experiencing gasoline prices at the city and highway pumps in the $1.35 to $1.40 range and speculation is that this may rise as the summer progresses.

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. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. 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.
