What is an inflatable life jacket?
Inflatable life jackets rely on inflatable chambers that provide buoyancy when inflated using a CO2 cartridge or by oral inflation. They are comfortable, stylish, and designed to always wear while boating. For more information on inflatable life jackets, please visit the Wear It! website.

I want to participate, but I don’t want to waste a cartridge.
Thanks to the generous donations from iSi Components and Leland, Ltd., select sizes of cartridges will be available for your event! Please note that cartridges are used for demonstration purposes, and only a limited amount will be given. Please register your event so we can contact you about receiving free cartridges.

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.
