Bavaria Yachts is adding another model to its successful SR-LINE. The Bavaria SR36 will make its debut at the boot 2022 in January.
Together with the Bavaria development team, the Italian designer Marco Casali drew up the sporty, elegant lines of the motor yacht, which is 11.68m long and 3.89m wide and boasts a bathing platform as standard. Particularly striking are the sweeping hull shape, large window areas in the superstructure and plenty of space on the bow and stern.
“The Bavaria SR36 is the continuation of our new SR-LINE. The Bavaria SR41’s great success confirmed to us that we understand our customers’ desires and are able to successfully implement them. With the Bavaria SR36, we are taking another step in the development of the SR-LINE, and customers will be impressed with the clever optimised solutions,” explains Marc Diening, CEO Bavaria Yachts.
The Bavaria SR36 shows creativity in the design of the cockpit and superstructure, since life on modern motor yachts takes place primarily on deck and in the cockpit. Alongside the classic hardtop version, which can be optionally closed with a door, the SR36 is also available as an open version, with a low windscreen. The hardtop roof becomes a stable Bimini with a sunroof. Or simply Bavaria Open Top, as Bavaria Yachts calls it. “The new Open Top version combines the comfort of a hard top with the sporty appeal and handling sensation of an open yacht.”
Plenty of space on board the Bavaria SR36 is provided by an intelligent floor plan, including below deck. Two generous cabins and an equally spacious lounge offer plenty of comfort and privacy for all guests on board.
The entirety of the interior was recreated precisely as a model in our development studio, allowing us to get a real feeling for the space, alongside the 3D computer models,” says Norbert Leifeld, the product manager responsible for the development of the Bavaria SR36 at Bavaria Yachts.

The multi-generational island cottagers of Georgian Bay and serious fishermen are just two of the groups most attracted to the new Oakley Boats models.
Brad Oakley has been around the boat business his entire life and he said to me that he has long admired durable, seaworthy welded aluminum boats. His company WMW Vacuum Pumpout Systems in Waubaushene, Ontario on Georgian Bay, builds highly regarded vacuum pump-out systems and Oakley’s equipment is in so many marinas that he knows a lot of people in the business.

On a beautiful summer morning in July, I hopped aboard a new-owner delivery from the Outer Harbour Marina in Toronto to the Port Credit Harbour Marina in Mississauga, with the President of Navy Point Yacht Sales, Steve McPherson. I don’t know if I have ever referred to a boat as pretty, but this adjective fits the Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 to a tee.
The transitions and communication from interior to exterior spaces are seamless and well-thought-out with functional ergonomics.

Following the War of 1812, a battle that Canada narrowly won against the United States, the boundaries of Upper Canada were held and the British army realized that the St. Lawrence River was no longer safe as a supply route. A more defensible route was needed to bring supplies from Montreal to Kingston and on into other Great Lakes settlements.
This new, more secure route revealed itself through the travel and trade of the Indigenous peoples. Surveyors learned that one of the Indigenous trade routes began at the mouth of the Cataraqui River in Kingston (Canada’s first national capital) and connected a series of lakes and rivers all the way through to where the Rideau River meets the Ottawa River in the heart of Bytown (known today as Canada’s national capital: the City of Ottawa).

Over the last decade, sailcloth weaving equipment has evolved and allowed the production of low crimp warp oriented woven cloth of medium to heavy weights. We have had light weight warp wovens of 200g/m2 (4oz) or lighter for much longer than that, but the finer denier weaves of light sailcloth allowed that with older looms and setups. Why is this important? This new loom technology is very important because it allows sailmakers to make better warp cut woven sails for boats 25-50’ long.
Let’s start by clarifying what a crosscut sail is. The crosscut panel layout aligns the fill (short) edge of the sailcloth roll with the leech edge of the sail. Most of the sail load goes from clew to head up the leech. Secondary sail loads go from corner to corner along the foot and luff edge.

I filled up last week at $1.90. Pundits are suggesting that prices will stay high throughout the summer. Radio and TV news have been flooded with ‘man on the street’ interviews that show the impact on the average driver. How will these prices affect the average boater this year? Will we see more hours spent on the docks and fewer on the water? Will fuel efficiency become a top-of –mind selling point? Will we see a shift toward electric marine engines?
Time will tell – but for the majority of us, we’ll need to weather the storm as best we can. There are a number of tips and tricks we can employ aboard to make the most of our boat’s fuel. BoatUS published an excellent article this week that I’ll break down...
