Sneak Peak: Canadian Yachting October 2019 Issue

CY October 2019 Cover

Sept 26, 2019

Over this past summer, we have taken fresh new approach to the editorial in the magazine. It’s our hope that you will like the increased content, wider range of topics and the new contributing writers and photographers that we have added.

In this issue, Amy Breaux makes her debut with her comprehensive destination article on the Kingston, Ontario area.

Of course, our favorite writers are also back starting with Rob McLeod, the “Informed Boater” who has developed a special supplement on Chartering. We’re confident that from novice to expert, our readers will all find tips and tricks of value and of interest.

The very popular yacht club and marina profile series by Katherine Stone continues with the Alexandra Yacht Club in this issue.

We are adding more product information and technical editorial. In this issue, we cover compass maintenance, something that is often overlooked. When was the last time you had your compass serviced?

And, we continue the always popular new boat reviews with a sailboat review on the J99 and powerboat reviews on the Pursuit 235 DC Yamaha power and the newest design from Cruisers Yachts, their 38 GLS with triple Mercury V8 outboards.

We hope you like these latest changes to Canadian Yachting magazine and that the summer of 2019 has given you a full season of wonderful boating memories.

Look for it in your mailbox!

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.
