Message From The Editor
Two mints in one
On our beautiful West Coast, there's still some great (if cool) boating left but anywhere east of the Rockies, we're mostly entering the dream season. This is where we read about boats, think about boats, learn more and talk to our friends about boats. There may even be a boating holiday gift coming up before long.
But at CY we never stop. Andy Adams and the team have been toiling away on Canadian Yachting magazine's October issue (previewed below) and are already packing upcoming issues for you to read, savour and keep on your coffee table. Print magazines, while an endangered species in some quarters, remain a must for boaters because they allow us to "see" the beauty and detail while reading in depth about our interest.
CY OnBoard, this online sibling, is all about news, people, places, and grassroots events. We're current and quick; breezy we hope. Both media are, in our view, essential and complement each other. Sure, there's a lot of good international publications like Boating or Yachting Monthly, but our distinct print and online publications are all-Canadian all year round with a full slate of Canadian boating content and contributors - no-one else can say that!
