Message From The Editor
Boats are Important
When the budget passed on Tuesday, the burdensome "luxury" tax was removed and the people involved with boating were relieved.
Why are boats important, you might well ask. First, there is a whole range of direct economic benefit. Beyond the people who sell boats, right across the country there are mechanics and other service providers who store, fix and detail boats. Thousands more work at shoreline resorts and restaurants that cater to boaters in water accessible towns. Just cruise the Rideau for examples. Head to Granville Island and see the boat lunch shoppers.

Ask Andrew
Shrink-wrapped Boat Ventilation
Ventilation – on and off-season – is important on all boats – large and small, power and sail. Poor air flow, combined with the wet nature of the marine environment, leads to mould, mildew, and rot. These combined, over time, leads to bigger problems: damage to carpets, covers, seats, cushions, woodwork, de-lamination, and a significant loss of value of the boat.
