The 2019 Ultimate Sailing Calendar highlights the drama and excitement of blue-water sailing, as Hamilton hometown photo shooter Sharon Green focuses her camera lens on the wild world of offshore yacht racing! Green is currently in Kingston for the induction of her dad, Hamilton Canada’s Cup winner Don Green, into the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame.

“The strength and fury of the sea are palpable in these incredible images. So is the strength and determination of the sailors onboard, as they harness the power of the wind, with electrifying results!” says Green. Photographer, curator, entrepreneur – Green has been capturing the leading regattas and boats around the globe for nearly 40 years.

“Many of us spend hours stuck behind computer screens, in offices or other stifling settings, and dream of our time on the water; braving the elements and challenging ourselves when the weekend, or vacation time, comes. It’s what we live for!”

2019 CalendarIn the 37th edition of the celebrated Ultimate Sailing Calendar, the Tasman Sea consumes bundled-up racers in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race. The blue Pacific indulges Merlin’s Transpac return, while closer to home a Pac52 vanishes into an explosion of foam in California’s ‘windy lane.’ J/70s battle through a jagged mountain range of waves, as a wall of green looms angrily over a Laser.

The Ultimate Sailing Calendar is a perennial favorite of sailors. Action-packed and vibrant, big and bold: it’s 24” by 18” when displayed. Expertly printed on durable high-quality Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper, with environmentally friendly linseed and soya oil based ink – it’s friendly to Mother Nature, while looking good all year long. Find it at chandleries and bookstores such as Nautical Mind in Toronto starting Oct 10, or online at www.ultimatesailing.com for $25.95US.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

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.
