CY’s Gift Guide will make Santa proud

The December issue of Canadian Yachting has a wide variety of nautical editorial to please the newcomers as well as the life-long boaters. This December issue again features our Holiday Gift Guide, this time assembled by our new CY team member, Allegra Smith-Herriott.

A Canadian Yachting December tradition is our annual Marine Electrics Feature. This is the perfect time to plan repairs and upgrades to your boat. We interviewed the engineers and product managers at four of the top companies for their most affordable, most user-friendly new electronics.

“Ask” Andrew McDonald brings us a tech article about GFCI and ELCI Circuits and why they are so important to safety. Greg Nicoll brings us aboard “Just Nick” to talk about their successful quest for a better boarding ladder and Rob Mazza brings us a wonderful update on the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame and the most recent inductees. Also, look for boat reviews on the sexy and affordable new Viko S35 and the high-style, sixty-foot Azimut S6. All this and more in the December 2021 Canadian Yachting!

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
