Set aside your assumptions and expectations for a few minutes while we try to describe the new Axopar 37 XC that made its American debut at the 2020 Miami International Boat Show.
The NC 895 Sport has redefined what 29 footer can offer with a fully enclosed cabin and an innovative layout that combines the design features for security, ergonomics and true comfort aboard. The NC 895 Sport is truly an all-weather craft equally suited for the cool weather of the Pacific Northwest or an Ontario heat wave.
A new class for this new Parker Monaco range, the first 37-foot outboard cruiser in the new Parker range was designed by Tony Castro Yacht Design. This latest generation cruiser equipped with Yamaha outboard engines offers exceptional performance and an unrivalled weight / power ratio!
New at the end of 2019, the 58 Salon Express design features large windows to flood the living areas in natural light, and a main door that opens fully from port to starboard, comfortably merging exterior and interior spaces.
It’s been a while since I last reviewed a Grady-White, but the Freedom 235 Dual Console seemed immediately familiar to me as we arrived on the dock at Desmasdon’s Boat Works in Point Au Baril for test day.
No wonder this is one of Regal’s best-selling boats; the Regal 33 Express offers amazing accommodations for today’s boating lifestyle and at a price that seems very competitive.
This February 2020 Boat Show issue of Canadian Yachting magazine actually mails before Christmas, so hopefully, we have given you sufficient time to let Santa know that what you want, is a new Neptunus 750 Flybridge. We realize that you haven’t even read the review yet, but we know how you are going to feel.
The newest member of Beneteau’s Gran Turismo line is the GT 36 and this yacht brings the style and features of the GT line to a more accessible size. In fact, the GT 36 creates an ideal mix of virtues that should appeal to many buyers in this price range.
The Jeanneau Leader 7.5 Center Console is an exciting new model from this major French builder who is famous for innovative designs and in this case, they are offering a fresh new approach to the whole idea of the center console.
Summer sun boat! The handsome new Beneteau Flyer 32 is all about entertaining and the bow area is one of the main attractions. It's a wide shape forward with a huge anchor locker and opening centre section in the railing that invites you to beach the boat and go swimming.
CY Virtual Video Boat Tours
We all love boats and nothing can break us up! So, what better way to spend our time than looking at interesting boats and going aboard in a virtual ride or tour. We have asked our friends at various dealers and manufacturers to help us assemble a one-stop online resource to experience some of the most interesting boats on the market today. Where the CY Team has done a review, we connect you to that expert viewpoint. Our Virtual Show will continue to grow so visit frequently and check it out. If you can’t go boating, you can almost experience the thrill via your screen. Not quite the same, but we hope you enjoy our fine tour collection.

AXOPAR 37 XC
Whole new ball game…
Set aside your assumptions and expectations for a few minutes while we try to describe the new Axopar 37 XC that made its American debut at the 2020 Miami International Boat Show. This boat represents a whole new ball game in terms of design, performance, seakeeping and functionality. In fact, I’d say it takes a ‘clean sheet of paper’ approach to boating – it’s that different.

Canadian Cruising - There's No Place Like Home!
By the Canadian Yachting Editors
Canadians are blessed in many ways and especially when it comes to boating. We enjoy some the world’s most beautiful cruising waters and many places are as sheltered as they are scenic.
British Columbia and the Pacific North West plainly have the most breath-taking scenery with the combination of the majestic ocean views and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It’s like no place on earth when you have a Killer Whale breach beside your little fishing boat.

Burlington Sailing & Boating Club – a successful four-way partnership
By Katherine Stone
It’s always amazing to me how life has degrees of separation that are incredibly small, even when you spend your adult life in another country than the one you grew up in. I grew up sailing on Lake Erie and when my father’s health was on the decline it was decided that I would be appointed to sell his boat. As fate would have it, an older gentleman came to see the boat and decided on the spot to purchase it. Off it sailed, out of Lake Erie, through the canal and into Lake Ontario to reside happily at the Burlington Sailing & Boating Club. Little did I know that many years later, I would be doing their profile for Canadian Yachting.

The Rules Guy: An overview of the right-of-way rules III
In the past two issues we have been doing an overview of the right-of-way rules. In the first, we did a review of Section A of Part 2, in the second we did a review of the definitions. This issue, we will look at Section B of Part 2, General Limitations, which is essentially limitations applying to boats that have right of way according to Section A.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS

POWER PLAY
By Craig Ritchie
We all know the story. You’ve been on the water since early morning, you’ve managed a tricky navigation through unfamiliar waters, but you’ve finally arrived! Drop the hook in a spectacular, quiet bay, enjoy a lovely dinner and a bottle of wine, then close your eyes and enjoy a peaceful night gunkholed under the stars, to fall asleep to the gentle serenade of the crickets and the haunting cry of the loon.
Except you can’t hear the crickets, you can’t hear the loons and you can barely hear your own thoughts over the incessant hum of that bloody generator.
