Editor's Note
Insights from Denmark
Recent events have zapped me far back to a visit to Denmark many years ago when I was invited to a showcase event entitled “the World Press Meets the Danish Boating Industry.” Briefly, it worked likely this – a dozen or so international boating writers from Italy, England, Norway and (me) Canada got to experience a fleet of 15 boats first-hand, half sail, half power. From our quayside hotel, we’d be off after breakfast, enjoy a Gammel Dansk shooter for courage then step aboard.

Which Coverage is Right for Your Boat?
Marine insurance vs. home insurance. Owning a boat is one of life’s great joys, but ensuring it’s properly protected requires more than just home insurance. Imagine this: You’ve just bought your dream boat and are eager to hit the water. But what happens if something goes wrong? Many boat owners assume that their homeowner’s insurance will cover their boat, but they quickly realize that home policies only go so far.

Ask Andrew
A Boater’s APPetite
I think I last prepared a printed an emailed invoice over 10 years ago. Email has replaced paper mailings, almost exclusively. Technology is evolving quickly, and the evolution of social media and apps has allowed companies to push their technology out to the masses. Gone are the days of waiting for a boater to arrive at a website: social media algorithms are hard at work trying to let you know what’s new and what...

Sail GP
Canada Finds Groove to Finish 2nd in Oz!
The KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix took place last Saturday and Sunday on the iconic Sydney Harbour. With plenty of breeze, the 24M wings were up and the T-Foils were humming across the 12 boat fleet. On Saturday, the NorthStar SailGP Team struggled to get off the start line which made it extra challenging to move up through the fleet. However, the Canadians steadily improved throughout the day, finishing 7th, 8th, 5th and 4th.
