{videobox}xcR54Pg6lkA{/videobox}The second annual Canadian Yachting Magazine Port Credit Spring Boat Show was held over the weekend at the Port Credit Village Marina. Friday was a spectacular Day followed by good Saturday and then a lousy cold and rainy day Sunday. That said a strong flow of boaters seeking to see a wide selection of new and old sail and power yachts carried out through the whole weekend. The first two days had a festive feeling and the exhibitors enjoyed the crowds that came through the show. But on the Sunday the visitors coming to look at the boats for sail were a hardier group and foul weather gear was worn by most. 

All said the show was a strong success the vendors and boat dealers are already setting the stage is for next year’s Spring boat show.

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
