Message From The Editor
First Week of Spring
Outside my window right now it is pouring rain, which is a welcome sight after the sub-zero few months we have endured. The waters will be high as the snow melts so please remember to take precautions around rivers, ditches, bridges and all other waterways. This issue has great info from Rob MacLeod on Diesel Fuel Additives as well as lots of updates on the racing world, a sneak peak of the Neptunus 62 launch and a look at the new Krates in Keswick. All that and more for you in this edition of Canadian Yachting Onboard.

In this way, in addition to the monohull craft, a number of multihulls also participate in the event each year. The fleet of multihulls competing in Les Voiles de St. Barth is an eclectic one, but the Caribbean Sailing Association has thought of everything. Indeed since last year its measurers have implemented a Multihull Ratings Rule.
