Editor's Note
New fangled and antiques
How did they ever do it? Those Ditchburns that threaded the Muskoka Lakes didn’t even have Navionics – never mind chartplotters and digital depth sounders. The ships that plied the waters off Nova Scotia didn’t have solar panels – how did they keep their beer chilled?

Severn II Rescued
It took a full day and lot of expertise, but according to owner Cedric Gyles Jr, the historic 8M, Severn II, is back to the surface and on her way to the repair shop. The Severn crew and likely the entire Toronto sailing community is hugely relieved to see the 90-year-old classic back from the depths. Two weeks ago, at the RCYC open, Severn II had a collision with another 8M-Yquem and sunk in 200’ of water about 2NM off Toronto’s, Humber Bay. According to Gyles, while the boat sustained a hole in the bow and some other hull damage due to the impact, she landed on her keel on the lake bottom.

Sleepless Summer Nights
Admittedly it is hot on the boat especially when we are staying at a dock as the hatches just don’t seem to let enough air in. My friend told me about a cool invention called a Breeze Bandit that drives the wind down your hatches, regardless of the direction of the wind.
