About Us
Canadian Yachting is published by Kerrwil Publications Limited. Founded on May 21, 1964, it is one of Canada’s oldest privately held publishing companies. Since then we have been involved in numerous industries and disciplines. Whether it was plastics or an emerging electrical technology, Veterinarian medicine, or automation our team developed a solid in person, in print and on line strategy.
Developing ancillary brands is what we have always done and moving into new opportunities to extend the print, in person and on line products is what we live for.
Today our company and its related interests boast a dynamic group of individuals that work as close as any team in publishing from their posts around the country. Being members of the industry first and publishers second has always set a Kerrwil property ahead of the pack. Our company is more than numbers and debt service, more than quarterly results, we know if we take care of the industry and disciplines we serve first our customer and their marketing needs first everything else takes care of itself. We take the longer term view and today in publishing that’s the exception but that’s the winning formula.
We are evaluating new markets and opportunities for growth all the time so if you want to join a winning team give us a call anytime.

When I first saw the display at the Toronto International Boat Show saying that you could lease a new yacht, it stopped me dead in my tracks. While I had never considered leasing boats, we are certainly seeing growth in boat rental organizations, so leasing didn’t seem out of line. In fact, I wondered why it had taken this long to see boat leasing come to the market.
However, I have a reasonable understanding of how leasing works compared to financing a purchase and I wondered how the numbers could work for something like a yacht. The sign was in front of a 60 foot Princess Express Cruiser – about $3,000,000

All set to pull out the Code 0 before dousing the jib.
It was a very cold and wet beginning to the summer and we never thought it would arrive in Southern Ontario. Doing a 100 miler race on Lake Ontario (billed as the COOLEST race on the lake) with my 8 layers of thermal clothing, woolen ski toque and ski mittens, along with a neck warmer kept me on the edge all night, just out of frostbite reach. I shouldn’t have complained, as we also had wind!
July and August arrived, and it has certainly warmed up, in fact, its too warm, AND we don’t have wind. We are now counting 5 Wednesday nights in a row without wind to race.

Boat buyers are gravitating to the latest centre console boats for a wide range of reasons but for the Wellcraft 242 Fisherman, you can sum it up by saying it’s about features, style and value.
This great-looking boat is just as capable on a family picnic cruise as it is doing serious blue water fishing. A wide range of options let the buyer tailor the boat for their specific interests, but it’s all there to choose from. Our test boat was well-equipped for that comfortable cruise with easy access via the swim platform and through the transom gate into the cockpit.

As the final link between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay, Port Severn’s Lock 45 is the gateway to the beautiful Trent-Severn Waterway. The first and smallest lock to be constructed on the Severn portion, Lock 45 is entrenched in Canadian History and is worth the trip in itself. However, it is the waterway and its idyllic surroundings that will keep you coming back.
The canal connects Lake Ontario and Lake Huron with an eastern terminus in Trenton and a western terminus in Port Severn. Its amazing natural waterways include the Trent River, Otonabee River, The Kawartha Lakes, Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching and Severn River.
