SeaDek Custom Marine Flooring

SeaDek’s custom fit marine flooring is the next evolution of cool feet and clean boats. SeaDek uses a premium PE/EVA foam blend that’s incredibly comfortable underfoot, stays cool in full sun, and looks great even after years of use. And with snap-on/snap-off application and removal, it’s easier than ever to clean your boat by taking your flooring out and washing separately. We tried it this summer and loved both the feel of it and how it accentuated our test boat’s colour scheme. With multiple colours and fully custom fits available, you can get the perfect non-slip flooring for your vessel that won’t stain from messes made by fishing or lunch. Even better, SeaDek offers fully personalized custom kits with unique logos, text, and laser art, so your boat will look better than ever!

Gill Pilot Jacket

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
