YES is the short answer and here’s why. Twice every month this OnBoard newsletter covers almost 100% Canadian-only boat stories – power, sail, electric, antique and classic, and everything else that floats. Canadian designs and boats built here or sold here. Anything that happens in the waters of this country – lakes, rivers, canals, all the seawater ports. We cover marinas, clubs, and organizations like BoatCan (formerly the Power and Sail Squadrons), Sail Canada, and Shellbacks. We visit ports, dockside restaurants and sunsets from St John’s to Victoria and they all get prominence.
