C&C Yachts Reunion and Conference Videos Online Now

“Our Home and Native Boat” is a story by John Morris in the August 2012 issue of Canadian Yachting and Canadian Yachting West magazines, that talks about the 2012 C&C Yachts Reunion and Conference held in May of this year.

C&C Yachts was certainly Canada’s greatest sailboat brand and huge numbers of C&C’s are still sailing and racing today. The brand is still in production and most significantly, the simply amazing team of people who worked there under the tutelage of George Cuthbertson and George Cassian have gone on to be a highly successful and influential force in boat building and racing today.

In no particular order, the C&C Yachts alumni is a who’s who of recreational and competitive sailboat design. Now, the Canadian Yachting editorial team have posted brief video interviews that you can watch, at no cost, on YouTube.

For your enjoyment and interest, videos are available for; Steve Killing, Rob Turner, Paul Anstey, Michael Vollmer, Mark Ellis, Mark Bruckmann, Jack Synes, George Hazen, Don Green, Don Finkle and Chuck Bentley.

CMRA

While the Day on the Hill lobby session has been a key activity for NMMA Canada for many years now, I feel that the event hit a new high in the 2024 session in Ottawa on May 27 and 28th.

Lead by Executive Director Marie-France MacKinnon and executed by her team and their public affairs firm, BlueSky Strategy Group, the results were impressive.
