Onboard Readers Choice Monthly
If you are a regular follower of all things CY, you will know that we have a lot going on! If you missed the big announcement this week, you can read about our rebranding and name change of Canadian Yachting here . In short, our legacy brand and all the related media has been changed to Canadian Boating. The “Boating” word better describes who we are these days, and we are incredibly excited about the change. Please do take a few minutes to read the press release to find out more. Thank you to those who have reached out to express your support for the change!
With this change, of course, comes the opportunity to change and improve in other ways. So, with that, you will notice that “the Publication Formerly Known as BEN” (this one) has been changed to “Readers Choice Monthly”. The format remains the same, however, we will now share boating products plus our most popular articles from the past month. This will be an amazing recap of great content in case you missed anything.
In addition to the new name and website, we have updated our socials, which we invite you to follow. Click through on Facebook & Instagram and “LIKE” or “FOLLOW” for extended boating content and lots “just for fun".
Thank you for being a part of our boating community.
