With a Canadian Hero!
Very proud
of meeting Derek Hatfield at the Toronto Boat Show 2012!
He did the Velux, "a 32,000-mile race with four stops along the way that takes approximately 130 days!!! ALONE!!. This race is sailed on an ECO 60 by all competitors; it is a boat designed on the unique balance of weight and displacement. It is powerful, noisy and fast. Derek admitted that now, after 50,000+ miles onboard, he thinks he finally understands her complexities." Elizabeth A Kerr, http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm?nid=84575
"It takes tremendous courage, determination and persistence to race around the world alone. Derek is the 126th brave sailor to have ever done it. As perspective, this is fewer than the 400 astronauts who have gone into space or the over 15,000 mountaineers who have reached the summit of Mt. Everest. It is a tremendous accomplishment under normal circumstances, but Derek Hatfield’s story is truly inspiring." http://spiritofcanada.net/wordpress2/about/

Winter 2011-2012 is Over!
Thanks God!
Boats are waiting for our care and preparation towards the 2012 sailing season. It has been a not very cold winter. Nevertheless, we had enough cold, empty mooring sites, tarp protected boats...

We all are excited! A renewed commitment to sail and enjoy is in our hearts!
