Sharon Green’s 2016 Ultimate Sailing Calendar Delivers New Level of ‘Fresh-to-Frightening’ Images

Ultimate Sailing Calendar 2016

“Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the round-the-world races have delivered some of the most breathtaking images of our times,” says Sharon Green, creator of The Ultimate Sailing Calendar. “I have always thought of sailing as ‘harnessed power,’ and these photos illustrate it impeccably! The world’s best sailors, in the most punishing conditions, on the edge of control … yet still holding the reins. It is pure inspiration, and Ultimate Sailing at its finest.”

Green has been producing The Ultimate Sailing Calendar since 1983, and the new 2016 editions takes her signature ‘fresh-to-frightening’ imagery to a new level. Twelve months of high gloss, high octane action are featured: a 100-foot superyacht attacks the Caribbean at full tilt; the Bay of Biscay devours an IMOCA 60; Melges 20s swarm Lake Garda; and more. Over-sized and over-the-top; the spectacular 2016 Ultimate Sailing Calendar is a ‘must’ on the holiday shopping list for sailors and adrenaline junkies alike.

The Ultimate Sailing Calendar is high quality offset printed on durable Forest Stewardship Council certified stock, with environmentally friendly Linseed and Soya oil based ink, for fade-free color and long-lasting impact. Oversized format – 24 by 18 inches when displayed – dramatically portrays two images per month, with ample notation space.

Tactical Flashlight – TEAL XF3000 – Correction

 

We introduced the Teal Tactical Flashlight last month but made a mistake in its technical description. This impressive LED flashlight is actually powered by three Lithium-Ion batteries, each producing 3.7 volts (not AAA as reported earlier). These are rechargeable batteries and the light kit includes the charger. The light can be reduced in size and weight by unscrewing one battery in its case and it will work well with the remaining two batteries. We liked the brilliance of the three-battery set-up best. The suggested retail price is just under $200 for the whole kit.

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.
