The rain gods stayed at bay so we could have a spectacular Easter cruise. Check out the photos and don't miss the next flotilla. May loooong weekend coming up and next Easter is extra late in the season.

The folks at boattest.com have done some reviews on the Aquila 44, a boat very similar to our 44's (especially Constellation). Browse our Aquila page to see what they have to say about these boats.
ps - we've found a smaller flag for this boat now ... memories of Canada 150!
What's better than heading over to Granville Island or BC Place for the Boat Show? I'll tell you, stopping by the Cooper office to book your next Charter or Course.
We are pleased to announce the safe birth of two baby hulls weighing in at just over 6,000 lbs this week. The two hulls arrived in a container each with this past week and were safely extracted by the boat yard and a bunch of people wondering just how to do this safely.

Well, not everyone you meet wears a helmet to go sailing, but we've got one such person on site this Friday evening for an off season talk. Kim Alfreds' father founded the original JIB SET that spawned into national training programs (CYA now Sail Canada) and licensed beyond to become the American Sailing Association.
This talk will look at the original F33 Cheekee Monkee and some of those adventures while looking ahead to the new F45RC Cheekee Monkee destined for our harbour in 2018 (after a few miles sailing from the Philippines).
We're told standing room only is fine - and it's not too long, so come on by and get a dose of multihull magic from someone who was putting foils on boats before any locals (and even the boat designer) thought it could be done.
This talk is priced for sailors... just like the wind, it's FREE!
Three great evenings on the near horizon for all you sailing enthusiasts who need your off season dose of sailing excitement.
