 BOATING
IS A YEAR-ROUND LIFESTYLE
As all Canadian
boaters know, there really are only two seasons. The one where we
can go boating, and the one where we get ready to go boating.
Well,
the “go boating” season is winding down as we haul out our craft
and bid farewell until spring launch. It’s now time for the “get
ready for boating” season. Just because our boats are away, doesn’t
mean we stop thinking about boating. Not a chance! After all, this
is one of the last few freedoms offered to us. From open water and
clear sky cruising to boarding the perfect wake; with friends, family
or some personal time by our self, boating is more than a pastime,
it’s a lifestyle. And at Power Boating Canada magazine we
take this lifestyle seriously. We are committed to bringing you
the latest news, information, boat tests and lifestyle features
to maintain enthusiasm for both our boating seasons.
Inside
this issue you’ll find our Spotlight on 2001, a sneak preview
of the hottest new offerings to the hit the water. Browse through
the pages to see what lies ahead of the curve. Make a mental note
of the features and boats you like so you’ll be ready to search
them out when you hit the shows early next year. Already the Toronto
and Vancouver International Boat Shows are shaping up to be among
the best ever. Mark your calendars now so you can plan accordingly.
Also
in this issue, you won’t want to miss The Shaping of Things to
Come, our insider’s look at a brand-new way of building boats
where high tech meets the high seas. Power Boating Canada
magazine recently headed to Genmar’s production facility in Little
Falls, Minnesota to witness first hand one of the most fascinating
technological revolutions ever to affect our lifestyle. Virtual
Engineered Composite or VEC technology may very well revolutionize
the way fiberglass boats are produced with its computer controlled
closed-mold operation that makes fiberglass hulls and decks of defined
thickness and strength.
One of
the best parts of my job as Publisher of Power Boating Canada
is getting our team together and heading down south to the shows.
It’s a labor of love as we walk down each dock looking for new and
exciting information to put in the magazine. Our first stop this
fall will be the Fort Lauderdale show, and you can count on us to
bring back all the news in our next issue.
As the
cold weather starts to settle in across the country, keep your copies
of Power Boating Canada close by. By bringing the boating
lifestyle to your living room, we’ll make sure you enjoy both your
boating seasons.
See you
at the shows and, as always, stop by to say hi. (Top)
