Bavaria Sport 360 - Design In New Dimensions
The SPORT 360 BAVARIA has redefined the design of motor yachts and sets a new milestone in terms of driving dynamics, comfort and space utilization.
Besides the Open and Hardtop SPORT versions, BAVARIA will be launching a new Coupe at a World Premiere in early September at the Oslo Boat Show. Open, hardtop or as a coupe, the new SPORT 360 has become even more versatile. The entire cockpit was designed according to modern requirements and it has become a real social area on the boat. The seating
area with cockpit table at the rear is a fantastic place for a relaxing drink or dinner with friends in the evening. During the day this area is easily converted in just a few steps to a fantastic and unusually large sun bathing area.
The design by Marco Casali and his team at the Italian design agency TOO DESIGN, have kept amazingly beautiful and clear lines in this new SPORT 360. The hull form uses all the knowledge of nautical architects Insenaval SL, which has also designed and constructed many super yachts. The modern, stylish and functional interior comes from Design Unlimited. The finishing touches and all the technical details in the 360 are from the designers and engineers of the BAVARIA SPORT line and all their previous experiences are incorporated in this new motor yacht.
Even with a new hard top concept, the SPORT 360 reaches new highs in the design of motor yachts in this size range,
large windows create a spacious 360 degree view. Also a new soft-top version will also be found in the price list.
"We have analyzed the needs of our customers along with our dealers around the world and incorporate them into the new SPORT 360. A requirement of the market was to build a coupe BAVARIA also in this size range. And the lines of the SPORT 360 realize our plans and we have succeeded very well with this new model" explained Meik Lessig, Head of Sales and After Sales in BAVARIA.
Attention to detail, experience and a demanding technical level have been the premises of the designers and engineers at BAVARIA in the development of the interior of the new SPORT 360. They range from the choice of fabrics and woods to the newly designed helm where a functional and simple design were key to this area. The instruments have been arranged according to the strictest ergonomic requirements. Nothing should distract the driver from driving fun, all controls and displays can be operated intuitively.
The new SPORT 360 from BAVARIA is pure added value: more variability in the cockpit, more light and air in the saloon and the cabins, more power through the perfect body shape for a motor yacht.

Regal Boats’ new LS36 is what we call a day boat. Regal says the LS36 merges their luxury yacht series with their bowrider series and the result is the LS36. This comfortable bowrider is perfect for cruising the lake or hosting friends and family for the day on the weekend.
We feel the styling deserves mention right off the top. This is a big boat at over 37-feet on an 11’7” beam but the clean and almost traditional lines give the LS36 a timeless sporty look that we think, really sets it apart. It’s a Yacht-certified vessel. I counted approximately 21 places for people to sit! You would probably never take a crowd that big but it can certainly handle a gang.

Every few years, boat builders update their lines with refreshed designs and new features that eventually proliferate throughout their entire offering. Dufour Yachts is in mid-process of such an evolution as the builder changes up their line of sleek sailing cruisers.
One sign of this transformation is the naming convention that is morphing from triple-digit numbers ending with a zero, to simple double-digits that one would guess designates the LOA – more on this later. The latest model in the refresh is the Dufour 37 which replaces the previous Dufour 360.

I start every article, story or TV segment about boating out of the biggest city in Canada the same way. Citing the multiple people who told me I would “quickly get bored of Toronto harbour” or that “there’s nothing to do in Lake Ontario” and that it was only a matter of time before I moved marinas to a much more appropriate setting just north of the city.
With all due respect to my pals who boat in Georgian Bay, I don’t foresee that happening anytime soon. Next year will be my tenth in Toronto Harbour and I love it more each year.

‘A chain is only as strong as its weakest link’ is a cliche that is quite applicable in boat maintenance. In a literal sense, a weakest link can apply to an anchor rode, and a weak link in this chain can spell disaster.
Transport Canada specifies the sizes of anchors required in the Canada Shipping Act, detailed more commonly in the Safe Boating Guide:
For Sail and Power boats up to 6 m (19’8”): One (1) anchor and at least 15 m (49’3”) of cable, rope or chain in any combination...
