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!

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
