Message From The Editor
Developments for a better future
Firstly, many of our Boating Industry Canada News Week readers will be seeing this edition over breakfast at the Boating Ontario Conference at Blue Mountain, north of Toronto. Like the Boating BC conference, there will be lots of ideas, good advice and the very valuable opportunity to talk to your peers. Trading ideas about our future is hugely important.
It’s also very valuable to have a positive outlook about the future and so we included a story in News Week this week titled, “bound4blue welcomes Daniel Mann to drive ‘new era’ of eSAIL® growth”. I love impactful new technologies! The global shipping industry is very important to us and so is our environment. The immense diesel engines used in container ships that bring us engines, parts, electronics and many other things that are used in the recreational boat business, create massive exhaust and ocean-warming pollution. The story about “bound4blue” is a good-news story about using the wind to help propel huge ships.
