Closing in on Launch Day
Hello and Happy April! It's so exciting that it is actually Spring. As fairer weather draws launch days nearer it's a great time to do your spring servicing and check for any issues before your vessel is in the water. This issue our Experts video features part 2 of keeping your diesel fuel clean, focussing on filters. As you inventory your onboard safety kit take a moment to watch Andy's video, describing the proper process for disposing of out of date flares. See the new offering from Cruisers Yachts. Catch up with Marblehead to Halifax news and read the Moncton Boat Show post mortem. All of that plus a sneak peek into the highlights from our May print issue and a ton of other info in this edition. Good reading!
