In late July, Jill Snider and I met Pride Marine’s Kevin Marinelli at Bridgeport Marina, Orillia, Ontario to review a brand-new Scout 400 LXF, equipped with twin Mercury Verado V12 600hp outboards. This is a simply jaw-dropping rig!
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.
For the boating community, the Tilley hat was literally a life saver and became a synonym weatherproof hat with a broad all round brim. Alex Tilley struck an important chord with floating, long lasting headwear long before your dermatologist scolded you to ‘wear a proper hat’ on the boat.
The Canadian entrepreneur who invented the Tilley Hat and a line of outdoor and travel clothing died October 28 of heart failure at age 87 in Muskoka, Ontario. Alex Tilley founded Tilley Endurables, which manufactured its products in Canada, sold worldwide, and supplied hats to the Canadian Armed Forces during the Gulf War.
Ask Andrew: Fall means haul-out and boat storage; I get a lot of questions about best-practices.
ensure that the boat is aligned well on the trailer’s bunks and rollers before the final haul-out of the season
Boaters tend to be hands-on and active. Many (most?) like to launch and trailer our boats on our own. We are hands on during launch and haul-out. But boat yards and launch ramps also tend to contain a collection of ‘this is what I do’, and not always ‘this is ideal, and I do it for this reason’
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find a manual that contains all things boating: How to launch, trailer, winterize, store, cradle, crane, lift and haul. Here’s my short list from the ‘Winter Storage’ chapter, from that imaginary manual…
No one wants an expensive or time consuming mistake in the spring when you bring your boat out of storage. Avoid that by not making these boat winterizing mistakes. In this video Sean Horsfall of Len’s Cove Marina covers:
1:10 – Fuel/fuel tank mistakes 2:24 – Not doing oil, filter and other lubricant changes 2:59 …
